A Prayer to Start Your Day Right; Psalm 5

I've heard there are two kinds of people in the world. Some wake up and say, "Good morning, Lord!" And then some wake up and say, "Good Lord, it's morning!" I know which kind I am. Which kind are you? It might surprise you that King David appears to have occasionally been with us in the latter option. Psalm 5, a morning prayer penned by David, begins with the words, "Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my groanings." If you begin your day with groanings, you're in good company with at least one man after God's own heart! But David knew he had a choice. He could give in to his groaning and fill his day with bitterness or align his heart with the Lord and find blessings. Of course, we're faced with the same choices this morning and every morning. In this message, we join David in his morning prayer and find the source of blessings that he found.
