Give ear to my words, O LORD,
consider my sighing.
Listen to my cry for help,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.
I opened the book this morning intent on continuing a linear reading of the Psalms. Yesterday was Psalm 1, ergo today would be Psalm 2. But Psalm 5 caught my attention and wouldn't let go. A key to lectio divina is being attentive to the still, small voice -- the insistent, persistent little whisper in the soul. So I went to Psalm 5, focusing on the first three verses. It seems God waas interested in my learning a bit about morning prayer this morning.
