Experiencing the Psalms
Ashley Buechele, MABC, Counselor
The psalms testify to the broken, fallen, chaotic state of our sin-sick world. It hurts. This is not the way things were supposed to be. God gives us the psalms to tell us that He sees our pain, He gets it; He cares. He gives us the psalms to help us identify and voice what we are feeling. He gives us the psalms to invite us to cry out to Him. And He gives us the psalms to provide community as we join the chorus of fellow sufferers over the ages.
God sees and cares about our plight so much that He did not stop at witnessing our pain and having compassion from afar, but He took mindblowing action. He came down to walk the destruction amongst us, to take the worst of it for us on the cross and to end it.
He sees you. His heart breaks for you. He is so moved that He came down to earth and died to stop sin and it’s pain. Let us look to His psalms for sustenance as we journey to the day of no more tears.
Listen along in the exercises below as Ashley helps you to powerfully experience the Psalms.

“I donate to Redeemer Counseling Services because this is how I can give back in a meaningful way. Training our mental and emotional strength is just as important as training our physical strength.
I believe everyone should have access to a professional counselor who can help with their growth and evolution. Providing financial assistance is one step to making it accessible for those who might otherwise turn away from the support they need.”
