Read Psalm 5:1–12; 143:8
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
* * *
The Psalmist David found his strength each morning as he
prayed and lifted up his requests to God. He believed that God heard him and he
waited in expectation. On one occasion, he prayed, “Cause me to hear Your
lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way
in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You. ( Psalms 143:8
NKJV)

Each day should find us praying for the children God has
given to us. Whether they are small and still at home or going off each morning
to school, sports or work–they need the cover of our prayers. We can pray like
David, “Spread your protection over them that those who love your name may
rejoice in you. For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them
with your favor as with a shield. (Psalm 5:11-12)

Dear Heavenly Father, watch over our children today wherever
they are. I rejoice in You this morning because I know that You hear my voice. I
lift up to You my specific requests and wait in expectation for Your
answer.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the
children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. Psalm 36:7
NKJV 54607
