Today's Verse: Psalm 5:3

Sunday, May 3, 2020

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

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Prayer is more than making requests. Prayer is more than offering praise. Prayer is more than giving thanks. Prayer is more than interceding for others. Prayer is more than posters — kneeling, bowing, prostrating, or humbling ourselves before God. Prayer is expecting that God wants us there. Prayer is expecting that God hears us and will act to bring his redemption in response to our prayers. Prayer is eagerly expecting that God will meet us in our prayer time and do what is best for us and those we love.
