David wrote many of the Psalms in the Bible. He was a "man after God's own heart", not because he was perfect or knew how to write well, but because he loved God and was honest with Him.
This page will show you how you can write your own psalm to God! Please follow these instructions and have fun!
Consider typing your psalm and using rhyming words.
Here are the basic instructions and framework for your psalm. Try and include about four lines for each number below. You can see my sample psalm, on the next page, for help.
1) Include one simile. For example, "God is like a strong tower because I ran to Him and He protected me." Similes use the word "like" or "as'. Relate our awesome God to something.
2) Recall a time when you asked God for help and He answered you. How did you feel?
3) Tell about how you were sad or hurting (possibly physically) and God lifted you up. What did God do? How? How long did you suffer?
4) Praise God for His character. Use colorful adjectives like awesome, deep, gracious, mighty, perfect, fantastic, etc. Consider using a thesaurus for interesting words!
5) Tell what you've learned and how you've grown.
Don't forget to personalize your psalm with words like "Me" and My". When you're finished with your psalm, write a title for it. Make something creative and grabbing!
