ASSIGNMENT: Read the "Introduction" to Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Prayerbook of the Bible (pdf). Bonhoeffer notes that we need to learn how to pray. He writes: "Not the poverty of our heart, but

the riches of God's word, ought to determine our prayer." Based on this "Introduction,” reflect on how prayers shaped by the riches of God's word differ from prayers determined by the poverty of our heart. https://stpaultampa.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Introduction-to-the- Psalms.pdf
