Reflection of the week

Posted in Faith

“O Lord, in the morning, you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.” – Psalm 5:3

Watching for the dawn on these dark, early mornings provides me with an experience of the presence of God, who refreshes my soul. I wait, trustingly and without fear, for whatever the day may bring.
