Morning Prayer

Good Morning,

Psalm 5:3 (NIV)
In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.

We have a simple precept to think about today. How, exactly, do you start each day when you awaken from your night's rest?

Do we, as David writes in this verse, rise and face the day with words of prayer on our lips and place our praise, worship, and requests before God before we do anything else? Seems to me that many of us don't do this simple thing...PRAY...the very first thing each day.

I guess I could think about all of the reasons that we should do this and then go on and list them and talk about each one. But I don't think that's a necessary thing today. No, today all we really need to do is to think about simply talking to God when we awaken and give Him honor and praise; place our requests and needs before Him; and listen a bit for Him to talk to us.

If you are one who doesn't begin the day, very first thing, in prayer and talking to God, maybe it would be a good idea to start. If you are one who does begin each day in prayer, then don't allow anything to get in the way of that and take you out of your excellent habit.

Prayer, simply talking to God...the absolute best way to start each day.

Love, peace, and blessings,

David
