I am a dogmatic thinker. I will pray a Psalm 2 or 3 times until I feel that it has been applied to my disposition. I pray through most of the Psalms until I feel unity with nature and with something that I am striving for. I don't mind saying that I think like David; I want everyone to think like me. I like deep desires that are selfish. David had selfish desires, prayed for healing, victory, control over everything, and for a conversion experience.David's prayers have a profound effect on me, spiritually speaking. I become incredibly peaceful and begin to hear a quiet voice in my head. This is the Lord, who tells me exactly what I need to feel in order to feel like everything around me is in perfect order and unity. Even my sinfulness fills me with a deep longing to see and experience people in a more gifted way, where conversations are animated and engaging. The Psalms expand my view of the creation, so that the beauty of the world around me fills my heart with pleasure. Sometimes I feel as if God is holding my hand and walking with me through this world.I sometimes experience intense feelings of pleasure when I am thinking about or interacting with God. These feelings can be so strong that they seem to take over my entire being, and I can forget about everything else that is going on in my life. I feel free from all concerns and troubles, and I feel like I am in the mind and heart of David, which is better than anything I could have created myself.
