Praying Scripture: Recent Episodes
Michelle Berkey
I was a long time into my life as a Christ-follower. Years. Maybe even decades-old as a believer before I began the practice of praying scripture, before I’d even heard of it.
I’ve done fancy prayer journals, simple prayers, organized and led three-day fasting and prayer events, and church prayer retreats. I’ve read countless books on prayer. But, other than simply sitting in the presence of God and feeling loved on, praying scripture is my favorite type of prayer.
Praying using the words of God is simple and helps keep our hearts and mind focused during prayer (hello, who else has trouble staying on task in prayer?). It gives us confidence that our words are based in truth and aligns our perspective with God’s.
This show is about learning by doing. I won't be teaching, I'll actually be praying and we record the episodes live each weekday on Facebook.
In every episode, we pray through four topics: worship, a psalm, prayer for ourselves, and prayer for our culture.
My heart is that as we pray scripture together, that we’ll grow in our prayer lives, that God will use this time to direct our hearts in our own circumstances, and that he’ll answer these prayers in mighty ways.
But most of all, I hope that by joining me in praying scripture, you’ll fall deeper in love with the God who gave us these words.
Get comfy and let’s get started!

The Psalms is the Old Testament book that is most quoted by New Testament authors and in many cases these passages are revealing, reflecting, and finding their ultimate fulfillment in the person of Jesus. We’re going to step inside the Psalms in this series and meet Jesus there. Personal Update: Ever have “one fo those days?” Well, last week I had 7 of them! It seemed as if nothing went right. And I started to let my circumstances influence how I felt about myself. But our circumstances don’t define us, God does. About Prayer The fact that God wants us to talk to him, that he listens and responds…that should spark awe in us and bring forth worship.

“Indeed, the practices of Christian spirituality, which we often treat as mini accomplishments, are meant to undo our fixation on accomplishment. They are meant to remind us how to live by grace rather than performance.” - Justin Ariel Bailey Today we’re praying about what we pursue and how we pursue it. Personal Update: Last week, we spent a day sorting through the belongings of my ex-husband after his death.It was a difficult, sweaty job and it really got me thinking about the “stuff” I have accumulated over the years. About the story my possessions would tell if a stranger were going through them. About Prayer Our lives and our relationships all experience “seasons.” Let’s talk about what that means for our prayer lives.

In a 2013 blog post, Seth Godin, marketing and thinker extraordinaire, has said this, “Measurement is fabulous. Unless you're busy measuring what's easy to measure as opposed to what's important.” He wasn’t talking about spiritual things. But he was talking about the results of measuring the wrong things and the importance of measuring the important things. Exactly what we’re going to pray about today. Personal Update: We have a new family member in the house, my mom got a dog! And, oh boy, had we forgotten what it’s like to have a toddler, I mean, puppy, around! About Prayer We’ve been talking about our postures in prayer, how we use our body to communicate. Today we’re going to look at a related topic: how we use our voice. How can we bring our full selves to prayer in an emotionally authentic way? Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses Worship: Zephaniah 3:17 Prayer: John 12:42-43 and Mark 12:28-33 My evening Facebook posts focus on praying scripture.

I was looking at quotes about success and it was really interesting how different they are, how many mention failure, and how many list different requirements to succeed. But I thought this was interesting: Kevin Spacey said, “Success is like death. The more successful you become, the higher the houses in the hills get and the higher the fences get.” Success is something that isolates us, he says. It separates us from all the things that really matter - community. Not a common perspective but interesting as we’re talking today about the kind of success we chase after. Personal Update: A late-night rescue of my teenage son reminds me of the importance of gratitude in all circumstances. About Prayer You were probably familiar with the other prayer postures we’ve talked about in previous episodes, but this week we’re going to talk about one less familiar–lying prostrate before God. Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses Worship: 1 Peter 1:18-19 Prayer: Luke 12:13-21 My evening Facebook posts focus on praying scripture.

Many of us have canisters on our kitchen counters that hold utensils. Right now I have too many utensils and I have two canisters near my oven. One of them is simply a bronze metal one. The other I ran across about 5 years ago and it screamed at me from the shelf, “Take me home with you.” So, I did. It’s white ceramic with text on it that says, “Measure your life in love.” And that’s what we’re going to explore in this new series. How do we measure our lives? What is success? Personal Update: A month or two ago, I promised a periodic studio update, so today I let you know what’s been happening with my creative practice. About Prayer Are you someone who “talks with your hands”? Hands are an expressive part of all conversations and we talk about what to do with them in prayer. Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses Worship: Isaiah 45:5-7 Prayer: Jeremiah 33:1-3, Psalm 139:1-5, 23-24, and Psalm 5:12 My evening Facebook posts focus on praying scripture.

What are a few things that you know exist…but you cannot see? You might answer the wind. Love. Or anger. We know these things exist because we see their effects in the world. That's a bit like one of the themes we’ll be praying through today. God is not mentioned in the book of Esther, but he is very present. Personal Update: A month or two ago, I promised a periodic studio update, so today I let you know what’s been happening with my creative practice.
About Prayer Sitting or standing during prayer is common in our churches, but many potestant churches do not practice kneeling during prayer. Today we talk about the origins of kneeling and what it means in prayer.
Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses Worship: Nehemiah 9:6 Prayer: Romans 8:28 and Matthew 28:20b

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has said, “It's hard for young players to see the big picture. They just see three or four years down the road.” Now, if I asked you to think about where you’ll be in 5 years, you most likely consider that to be big picture thinking. But that quote shifts our perspective. We need to draw back from the immediacy of the every day and think longer term at times. And as we look at scripture, we need to keep in mind the big picture too, not only thinking verse by verse. So that’s what we’re doing today, looking at a few big picture themes from the book of Esther. Personal Update: After a few weeks of personal issues interrupting the podcast, I’m back today and catch you up on what’s been happening. About Prayer We open a small series talking about prayer postures today with the question, “Do we need to close our eyes during prayer?” Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses Worship: Psalm 145:9 Prayer: Esther 1:3-4, 4:16, and 9:1 My evening Facebook posts focus on praying scripture.

Charles Ketttering said, “It is the ‘follow thought’ that makes the difference between ultimate success and failure, because it is so easy to stop.” We have a few examples of follow through today, both human and holy as well as the conclusion of Esther’s story. Personal Update: I spent part of my Saturday working on a quilt project for a friend. I finished a handful of blocks, but it was a struggle. I spent much of the work time unpicking and re-making. It was a reminder about why process is as or more important than product.
About Prayer The way we teach and talk about prayer often puts it squarely in the “obligation” category. It becomes a to do list item to check off, something we develop elaborate systems or routines to maintain, or something to feel guilty about. Is prayer an obligation? Speaking to the ones we love happens naturally and so should talking to God. Sometimes we schedule important conversations, but that’s the exception rather than the rule. How does this apply to your prayer life.
Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses Worship: Psalm 147:5 Prayer: Esther 8:1-3, 8:15-17, 9:1-2, and 10:1-3 My evening Facebook posts focus on praying scripture.

We often think that last week’s verses –Esther’s decision–are the highlight of the action in this book–the main event. It’s certainly the part that we remember and talk about most often. But, this week’s chapters have as much drama as any Hollywood movie and a big dose of poetic justice. Personal Update A conversation over a congratulatory dinner out reminded me just how important our words are.
About Prayer Boredom and a lack of focus are often listed as common struggles in our modern-day prayer lives. While it’s true that culturally, we’re losing the ability to focus, maybe if we don’t treat our prayer life as a laundry list of requests, we can bypass some of those issues. We talk about another way to think about our prayer life today.
Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses Worship: Psalm 150:2 Prayer: Esther 5:1-2, 5:9-13, 6:6, and 7:3-9 My evening Facebook posts focus on praying scripture.

Are you an overpacker? The kind who has to sit on their suitcase to get it to close? Or get help to zip the zipper on their bag shut? Well, I’m not usually an over packer, but I think I’ve done that with this episode! We get into the part of Esther today that everyone knows and loves! Personal Update There are times in our lives when we need to reevaluate our won mental, emotional, physical, or spiritual capacities. In those times, pay close attention to what your body, mind, and spirit need and do what you need to do to be healthy.
About Prayer The words we use in prayer should be respectful and reverent, but also authentic and honest. God is more concerned with the state of our heart than the formality or form of our speech.
Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses Worship: Psalm 34:1-9 Prayer: Esther 2:15-17, 3:5-6, and 4:10-16 My evening Facebook posts focus on praying scripture.

In order to study for the final big test in AP chemistry, my son was teaching what he knew to me. So, I got a crash course in Chemistry yesterday. He was explaining solutions to me and said, I’m going to give you the basics like we learned in middle school, but then I’ll tell you why that’s not exactly true.
That’s the way I feel about the book of Esther. We learn one fact from the book–particularly if we’ve grown up in the church and the fact we learned is probably sort of right, plus there’s So much more to it. So, I’m excited to dig into this book with you this month!
Personal Update Is there something God has called you to, whispered you toward, or keeps pulling you back to? Something that you need to pay attention to and obey? For me that thing is art. A trip last week to a quilt show reminded me of that calling.
About Prayer We kick off this new segment with a question: How does your prayer life indicate what you believe about prayer? About God? And about your relationship?

“Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” – Martin Luther King, Jr. Today we’re going to pray through some best-loved verses, one of which is specifically about faith, but all of them–by meditating on them, knowing them, and reminding yourself of their truths–will build your faith.

“Lent is not an effort to save ourselves.. we have been saved by Jesus’ ONE and PERFECT sacrifice. Rather, it is part of our journey, the continuum, the falling in love, staying in love, growing in love with God.” - anonymous Today we’re praying through the most important week of this season. The most important week of the life of the most important person who ever lived.

Viggo Mortensen said, “A lot of times, movies that are in the top 10 lists or maybe even win Baftas or Oscars, you then watch them a year later and you go, ‘Maybe it wasn’t so great.’” Today we reach the very top of our list of Best Loved Bible verse…and I don’t think you’re going to react that way!

Bill Bryson said, “To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” This is the experience I hope we have each time we look at these familiar verses–to feel as if we experience them for the first time and not to let their familiarity cause us to take them for granted. We;re praying through more of the best-loved verses in the Bible today!

If you google Quotes about favorite things–which I do not recommend unless you have time to waste–you’ll come up with the most widely random set of things you can imagine. From jicama to, according to Dale Earnhardt, his steering wheel and Remington rifle. It’s fascinating to see what people have said publicly that they love. For those of you who don’t know, jicama is a root vegetable that has been said to taste like a cross between an apple, a potato, a water chestnut, and a pear. The verses we have today have that complex a flavor but are far more familiar to those of you who don’t have Mexican or Central American roots.

Abraham Lincoln said, “I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man.

Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, writer, and Catholic theologian in the 1600s. He said, “The gospel to me is simply irresistible.” And today we’re praying through verses intimately connected to the gospel. I hope your heart finds it irresistible too.

Andy Rooney said, “Familiar things are a comfort to us all.” And he’s right. I think that’s human nature.

Holocaust survivor Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, "God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises, leading us along the best and straightest paths to Himself.” We’re going to pray about being in that place today when what we want doesn’t align with what God has for us in that moment.

“Waiting for God is not laziness. Waiting for God is not the abandonment of effort. Waiting for God means, first, activity under command; second, readiness for any new command that may come; third, the ability to do nothing until the command is given.” that’s a quote from G. Campbell Morgan We think of waiting as a time of doing nothing, as wasted time. But as this quote and an army of coffee mugs across the world tell us, waiting is not wasted time. “God is working while we’re waiting,” say the coffee mugs. And I’m certain he is. But waiting isn’t the passive experience we think it to be. God is not the only one “doing” while we wait. At least he shouldn’t be. He cares about both what we do while we wait and how we do it. That’s what we’re here to pray about today, how we wait. Weekly Prayer Focus & Today’s Verses Worship: Psalm 33:4 and Deuteronomy 32:4 Prayer: Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 27:14, Lamentations 3:25, Psalm 33:20-22, Psalm 37:7, Micah 7:7 My evening Facebook posts focus on praying scripture.

Benjamin Franklin said, “Success is the residue of planning.” And while planning doesn’t guarantee success, it’s certainly a factor. Franklin gave us lots of non-Biblical proverbs like this. A proverb is just a short, memorable saying that speaks of general truth. This proverb tells us that planning is really important when we’re talking about stewarding our time with intention for God’s purposes.
Franklin has also been quoted as saying, “Well done is better than well said.” Planning without action Is useless, we need both. So we’re going to pray about both this morning

John Maxwell has said, “Most people want to hear or tell a good story. But they don’t realize they can and should be the good story. That requires intentional living.” If we want to live the story that God wants to write with our lives we need to be intentional about it. That’s what we’re praying about today…becoming intentional with the use of our time.

The world tells you that productivity is working better, smarter, faster so that you can be successful and make all your dreams come true. But our dreams are different. My prayer is that we dream the same dreams as God does for us and that we all would see how to be truly productive. We’re praying today for our productivity to be characterized by a Christ-like attitude, godly motivations, and dependence on God.

Reagan Rose said “You cannot deal with topics so basic to the human soul like motivation, morality, or ultimate purpose without touching upon religion. These themes are the core of human existence—these are religious themes. This is why, whether presented overtly or not, all productivity books have a theology, and this by necessity.” And, “There are…foundational aspects of the Christian’s understanding of productivity which are not shared by the world.” So, what is a Christian’s understanding of productivity? That's what we’re talking about In both of this week’s episodes.

In the book, Do More Better, Tim Challies defines productivity this way, “Productivity is effectively stewarding your gifts, talents, time, energy, and enthusiasm for the good of others and the glory of God.” If that’s not how you think about productivity, you’re not alone! Many, if not most, of us think that being productive is getting more done. Let’s pray about that today.

One thing that every single person shares–no matter where they live or what circumstances they live in–is the experience of time. From the moment of our conception, we feel the pull of time.

I was looking at a number of different quotes about Mary, the mother of Jesus, and began to see this massive set of beliefs that have grown up around her. I imagined her surrounded by this whole scaffold of theology and iconography and ritual, and belief. And at the center of that is a remarkable-yes-but ultimately a very human girl who became a very human mother of the most extraordinary child ever born. Let’s try to strip away the scaffolding today and look at Mary, pregnant with Jesus.

“Gratitude is a special gift given to us by God. Gratitude is fundamentally about not taking things for granted. It is being thankful for what we have and receive. Thankfulness is a powerful means of drawing near to God...As Christians, we have a double benefit from gratitude. Firstly, research shows that gratitude makes us happier even if we aren’t Christians, but secondly, as Christians, gratitude strengthens our relationship with God.” That’s a quote from Lindy Pegler and as we wrap up our series on gratitude we’re reminding ourselves today about just how important this practice is and praying for it to become a lifestyle.

“Because of what the Shepherd has done for His sheep, death does not win; even though, for now, we stand in the valley of its dark shadow and often, like Jesus, weep at a graveside feeling as though the hole in our heart inside us is bigger than the hole in the earth in front of us. Even in that hard place — and especially there — the Lord is with us; our Shepherd has gone before us and opened up the way for us to follow. Jesus said, ‘I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.’ (John 10:11, 27-28)” -- Robert Emberley Today we’re looking at Psalm 23 through the lens of gratitude.

This week we’re looking at what else we receive when we seek God. And today we’re worshipping him (appropriately enough) as El Shaddai, God Almighty who nourishes and sustains us.

We love the fact that God is a God of mercy and this week we’re celebrating that. We’re also for ourselves, that we would be rid of any love of money. There’s nothing wrong with money itself, but as believers, we need to guard against the love of money. There’s so much going on in our world, so many heavy, scary, difficult things for so many people. From COVID-19 to the California fires, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. So, we’re praying about how to handle that this week in our culture portion of the broadcast.
Plus, since this morning’s landfall of Hurricane Laura has caused widespread destruction along the gulf coast and inland, we’re praying for that as well.
