Be Still: 15 Days With God Sample

LORD, I LOOK TO YOU

My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up. PSALM 5:3

David addresses the Lord in Psalm 5 as “My King and My God.” He knew the One he was addressing. See, real prayer is a just conversation with your Creator!

In the morning, before you do anything, do you direct your thoughts to God? You have to rivet them towards the Lord because, by osmosis, it will never happen. You will get up in the morning, see yourself, and forget about everything else. And in yourself, that is such emptiness.

Direct your thoughts higher than yourself. Direct your thoughts to your Creator, who knows you and already has the day planned! How much better it would go for you! Get up in the morning and say, “Lord, I’m going to look to you!” and then let Him lead you through the day.
