A prayer before study: Psalm 43:3 "Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain to the place where you dwell." amen

In the morning...

 

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

"...direct my prayer to you, and look up."  (KJV)

Psalm 90:14  Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days"  (NIV)

Psalm 143:8  "Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love for I have put my trust in you.  Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul."  (NIV)

"In the morning..."---This indicates we trust God to bring another day.  We expect safety through the night and look forward to the dawn of another morning.  We know we can lay our requests before him and wait for his answer.

In the KJV for Psalm 5:3 it reads "...and will look up".  I like that image of lifting our face towards God and waiting for the answers that his unfailing love will bring us.

Thank you, LORD for letting us lift our faces to you in prayer and know that you will answer, that you are in charge, and nothing is too much for you to handle.  amen
