May is Psalms Month

Half way through Under the Unpredictable Plant, Peterson challenges his readers to undertake a new discipline. He argues that this discipline along with Common Worship on Sundays and Recollected Prayer throughout the week provide the "basic pattern for our praying life and developing spirituality."

This discipline is the act of praying through the Psalms sequentially every month. With Peterson in the back of my mind, this almost sounds sacrilegious, but I'll say it anyway, if you're interested in trying this out with me, I'm going to start May 1. The sequence for the first 15 days is laid out for you here.

According to Peterson, "The basic Rule of Common Worship/Psalms-Prayer/Recollected Prayer is where we start from and return to - always."
