God desires that we awaken with a prayer toward Him seeking His advice and direction as we carry on with our day. I specifically used this photo with the first words of this prayer for a reason. No matter how much you know and how much knowledge you have attained by study, you need to remain as a child in your heart. You need to maintain childlike faith in everything you do. It is as you do this that you will not try to reason things out in your mind. You will just believe. You will absolutely give your concerns and questions to God and as a little child, you will believe He will take care of you.
The scripture I am sharing today is the very first Bible verse I ever memorized. I can still remember reciting it in front of my youth group. To this day whenever I read it, it reminds me of new beginnings in my life. It was a time of knowing there would always be answers if I just prayed and believed.
Psalm 143:8 (KJV)
“Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning;
for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein
I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.”
“Cause me to hear” is probably my favorite part of the verse because it is basically asking God to bring something about. There are just way too many things in this life that we cannot make happen in our own ability. It takes faith. Sometimes just knowing what to say or knowing what to do could make or break a situation for you. I encourage you to ask Him today to “cause you to know…”
