Read Psalm 5
In Psalm 5:3, David says: 'In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.'
Read in the BibleReflection
Mornings often begin with the phone, the tasks and the worries. Before we even get up, the mind is already busy. David chose a different beginning: before facing the day, he brought his prayer to God.
Praying in the morning does not require much time or beautiful words. It is handing over the day before it happens: the meetings, the family, the work, the tiredness. It is recognizing that you do not have to begin alone.
The verse ends with 'wait expectantly'. A morning prayer does not promise a day without problems, but it changes how we face them: instead of chasing everything, you walk knowing God goes before you.
One action for today
Before opening your messages, read Psalm 5:3 and tell God, in one sentence, your biggest concern for today.
A question to consider
What can I hand over to God before this day begins?
Prayer
Lord, before everything begins, I come to you. I place this day in your hands, my tasks, my family and my worries. Give me wisdom to decide, patience with people and peace not to run ahead of you. May I notice your presence in every moment today. In Jesus' name, amen.
What is the best time for a morning prayer?
There is no required time. Many people pray right after waking, before the phone, or on the way to work. What matters is setting aside a simple, sincere moment to start the day with God.
