As I prayed psalm 88 tonight, I began to think about how praying the psalms is sometimes like acting. Psalm 88 is the psalm of a very sick person who feels God is angry. I am not that person, but praying with that person requires that I enter into that character.
Perhaps acting is a spiritual activity, as we enter into a character and feel with that character we touch new places in ourselves where that character has meaning. As we offer those places to God, it becomes prayer.
