Morning Psalm and Prayer

My thoughts can run away, my mind not shut off, my anxiety rise. Lord, help me focus today on the Lord and His faithful love, hope and generosity! Put a song of praise and rejoicing in my heart.

Words are powerful -- for good or for evil. Word can spread truth or lies. There is one source of pure divine wisdom: the Word of God! Help me to build my life on the truth of the Bible.

Human and demonic adversaries oppose the Christian and the Christian faith. But the Lord reigns in heaven. The believer takes refuge in the Lord. His faithful surrounds the godly.

The wicked plot evil and think that they are beyond accountability. But the Lord reigns as King and will do justice for the fatherless and oppressed. The godly choose to trust in the Lord, King of righteousness!

The Lord will snare the wicked by the work of their own hands. But hope of the oppressed is the righteous God. From His eternal throne He will enact justice with fairness. Declare His praises in song! Share it with the nations!

The Lord God is the creator of the universe and yet of all of His creation, mankind is the pinnacle. God has crowned mankind with glory and made him ruler over all the created things on this earth. What's more, God is aware of each of us and loves every one!

God says the wicked are pregnant with evil, always giving birth to wicked acts. Yet the Lord notices from heaven. A day of judgment is coming, a day of justice. For those who live by the Truth, it's time to focus on the Lord's beauty and righteousness.

Enemies rise but so does God's justice. Guilt may overcome but your faithful love corrects me in grace rather than wrath. Thank you Lord for hearing and accepting my morning prayer!

Psalm 5 starts with the psalmist affirming his morning prayer time and how, having prayed, he watches for answers with expectancy. Everyone who takes refuge in the Lord are blessed, joyful and are surrounded with favor as a shield.

It's the Lord who vindicates His people and His gospel truth! So, "be angry and do not sin." Instead trust in the Lord, pray with confidence, and sleep tonight in peace. Thanks for sharing this podcast!
