A free 10-day devotional

Does your prayer life feel more like a duty than a refuge?

Still Waters is a free 10-day devotional journey through the Psalms—learning to pray the way God's people have prayed for three thousand years.

Each day offers a Psalm, a short reflection, and a simple way to turn what you read into honest prayer.

Written by Chris Pappalardo for The Ancient Path.

Cover of Still Waters: A Ten-Day Journey of Prayer

Learning to pray with the Psalms

You do not have to arrive with the right words.

The Psalms give us language for the whole life of faith: delight and grief, confidence and confusion, gratitude and waiting.

For ten days, Still Waters helps you slow down, listen, and pray with words God's people have carried for generations.

What you will practice

A truer, steadier life of prayer

Lament honestly

Bring grief and questions to God without pretending.

Rest without striving

Receive prayer as refuge, not another task to perform.

Wait with hope

Stay present when an answer does not come quickly.

Be still

Make room to notice God before reaching for more words.

The invitation

He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.

Start with one Psalm, one honest prayer, and enough quiet to listen.
