When you pray, does it seem as though you are saying the same things about all the usual subjects? Donald S. Whitney, author of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, offers the practical counsel most of us are looking for and sets out a method that is easy to learn and has power to change a prayer life: praying the words of the Bible.

The method is simply to take a passage, most often a psalm, and let the text supply both the subjects and the language, which removes the problem of having nothing new to say. Short, immediately usable, and in Spanish for the Spanish-speaking church.
