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."
Two excellent verses, are they not? Probably because the references are the inverse of one another...but perhaps there's more....
The first one is significant to me because it reaffirms just how dependent we are, or should be, on Christ. He IS the reason for our waking, breathing...our very existence. He wants us to wholly depend on Him for all things (This is within the voice of practicality. I'm probably not going to consult the Lord when I'm trying to figure out which brand of toilet paper has the best price point, because you better believe I'm getting the cheapest!) But it's a reminder to try and live our lives through the filter of God. To evaluate every decision based of off our faith; and to realize that nothing is possible without Christ.
I like the second verse because it's good to remember that we actually are praying to a God who listens, hears, and responds. Obviously, this isn't always what we anticipate His response might look like---but there is a response, nonetheless. We can literally, lay our requests at the Lord's feet, and wait in expectation for him to respond. That can be quite a burden lifted off our shoulders.
