Morning with God !

And when morning comes
The dew disappears
But not my fears
Not my anticipation…
Not my need for imagination.
I imagine
A time of peace…
One where there is a cease
 of turmoil

A release…
Of love for the world



And a move to be so much more...
than we are.
Much more of what God has called.


Psalm 5:3 (New International Version)The psalmist says that God hears his voice in the morning. He says that it is in the morning that he prays to God with his requests. He notes that he lays out his petitions and waits for God to respond.  The hardest four letter word there is...WAIT!.
3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.


    As the little chidren sing...In His Time...In His Time. God makes all things wonderful... In His time.  God promised to hear and answer our prayers, but not always yes and not on our schedule, either way.  Making ourselves available for early morning communion with our God, lets Him know of our understanding of His call to prayer and His promise to hear.

   We will all face troubles and trials during our lives, but this verse puts it in perspective, reminding us that suffering will always be followed by peace and restoration. As the song makes clear..."The Anchor Holds"...in the midst of the storm.
Jesus is our anchor and a prevalent force in our world today. We worship a living God who has been tempted as us, but sinned notl
“Morning Calm” “

Lord...There is a calm
About early morning
It just brings comfort
In quiet
All may not be perfect
Nor my actions right
But God is in control
His mercy untold.
His promise is to be with you and me
And will hear our prayers…
I hold.
