Teach Me To Feel: Worshiping Through the Psalms in Every Season of Life (Daily devotions/ devotional for women)

An engaging and accessible guide to the Bible’s teaching on miracles and whether they happen today.
Many of us suppress our feelings because we’re worried they are ungodly. Others of us are so led by our emotions that we let them dominate everything, including our faith.
In these honest, personal, and uplifting meditations on 24 selected psalms, Courtney Reissig looks at emotions we all experience, ranging from shame, anxiety, and anger through to gratitude, hope, and joy. For each, she shows how the psalms give us permission to acknowledge how we feel before God, and how they can help us to use those feelings productively and faithfully.
This psalms devotional will give women a language to cry out to God to help them process their feelings, as well as help them to grow in their faith.

“If we’re honest, most of us would admit that few aspects of our lives can seem as chaotic and unpredictable as our emotions. Courtney Reissig, a gifted and wise writer, shows us in this book how the Psalms can help us to take our feelings before the throne of God, how to see them reordered by the ongoing life of Jesus Christ. This book can change your thinking, and your feelings, for the better.”

Lauren Chandler, Author, Steadfast Love and Goodbye to Goodbyes; Songwriter

“I’ve always had a difficult relationship with my emotions. I have suppressed them in shame, or I have let them loose with reckless abandon. Neither approach has served me well. This is why I appreciate Courtney Reissig’s newest offering, Teach Me How to Feel. Through her own wrestle with emotions, she points us to the place where the Lord taught her how to feel them—the Psalms. I found great comfort in her words and the insight she brings to these ancient songs. There’s nothing like a friend—modern or ancient—to tell us, “I’ve been there too.”

Lore Ferguson Wilbert, Author, Handle With Care

“The church has had a rich and right return to the study of God’s word and the value of a transformed mind in recent years, but God also gave his people emotions and feelings. How does one navigate feelings faithfully in the midst of suffering, transition, or hurt? Courtney walks us through the Psalms and her own story. She is less a teacher and more a friend on the journey.”

Nancy Guthrie, Author, The Wisdom of God: Seeing Jesus in the Psalms and Even Better than Eden

“We know that God intends to change how we think and how we behave, but we don’t always expect that God intends to change how we feel. But, as Teach Me to Feel so beautifully shows, God has given us a whole book to guide us into feeling rightly. With profound insights tucked into short chapters, this book helps us as readers apply the words of the psalmists to our own souls—leading us into honesty with God, confidence in God, and joy with God.”
