“If we want to read and to pray the prayers of the Bible and especially the Psalms, therefore, we must not ask first what they have to do with us, but what they have to do with Jesus Christ...It does not depend, therefore, on whether the Psalms express adequately that which we feel at a given moment in our heart. If we are to pray aright, perhaps it is quite necessary that we pray contrary to our own heart. Not what we want to pray is important, but what God wants us to pray.” IfsWantFeelsFirstsHeartDoeImportantMomentsAsksJesusGivenChristPrayerDependsPrayingJesus ChristContraryWant UPsalms Author:Dietrich Bonhoeffer
