Resources

The helpful online guide Praying the Psalms, from Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, includes a schedule for reading through the Psalms from the Book of Common Prayer. It suggests doing a reading and letting one verse-maybe even one phrase-jump out at you, stop you, comfort you, convict you, and then bounce around your brain for the rest of the day.

This series of meditations (in progress) by Nathan Bierma uses this schedule (a 60-part reading schedule, using the BCP's 30-day, morning-and-evening breakdown), and this method for reading and reflection.
