Jesus, the best way to start the day.

Lessons from Psalms: 4

“My voice you shall hear in the morning, O Lord.”  Psalm 5:3

How many people feel really rushed in the morning? There can be so many things to do that we can feel harried and often defeated before we even get out the door. How many mornings have we failed to tell our spouse that we loved them or assured our kids that we love them before we all head off in different directions? The last thing we think we need is another thing to do in the morning; we have enough on our plate already. But there is something very positive that we can benefit by each morning. That is prayer.

Prayer is not a chore. Prayer is a simple conversation with God that we can actually have during our morning shower. It is a simple conversation we can have while tying our tie or getting dressed. It can be as simple as, “Good morning, heavenly Father. Thank you for this new day. Please help me honor you in it. I’ll talk with you some later.” Prayer helps us focus on what is truly important every day – God. So the psalmist said, “My voice you shall hear in the morning.” It is a good way to start our day.

Dear Father, You are our source of life and strength. Thank You for giving us the connection of prayer to find both each day. Amen.
