Praying the Psalms: Psalm 100

A few years ago, one of my spiritual mentors suggested for me to read a chapter in the New Testament and a psalm each day. I found this to be valuable and began to pray through each psalm instead of simply reading. Today, I invite you to pray through the psalms with me beginning with Psalm 100.
