Let Me Hear

Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
    for I am trusting you.
Show me where to walk,
    for I give myself to you.

—Psalm 143:8 (NLT)

Heavenly Father,

Help me not to start my day, before I hear from You.

I don’t want to rush into this new day You have given me—eagerly pursuing my own plans and ideas—without first spending some time with You.

Help me to truly understand how important it is that I open Your Word—the Bible—and allow You to speak to me, by Your Holy Spirit, through the Truth that I find there.

As I read the Bible each morning, help me to hear of Your unfailing love for me—so that I will trust You more.

As I submit my will to Yours alone, show me where to walk, so that I might be just where You want me to be—so You can continue to provide for me, protect me, and most of all, use me.

I give myself to You this day.

Help me not to start my day, before I hear from You.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
