“Un método sencillo Eso es todo. Si estás orando a través de un salmo, solo lee el salmo línea por línea, hablando con Dios de cualquier pensamiento que te despierten las palabras inspiradas que vas leyendo. Si tu mente se aleja del tema del texto, dirige hacia Dios esos pensamientos y luego vuelve al texto. Si te encuentras con un texto que no puedes entender, sáltalo y ve al siguiente. Si tampoco lo entiendes, pasa al siguiente. Si entiendes el texto, pero nada viene a tu mente, pasa al versículo siguiente. Si vienen a tu mente pensamientos pecaminosos, ora por ellos y sigue adelante. Podrías leer entre 20 y 30 versículos en ese salmo, y aun así, en un día cualquiera tener solo cinco o seis cosas que vengan a tu mente. No hay problema. Nadie dice que debes orar sobre cada versículo. Nadie dice que tienes que terminar el salmo.”
