Psalms 5:3 ESV
“O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch.”

David began each day with deliberate prayer to the Lord like the Old Testament Priests used to do in the morning sacrifice. Prayer does not have to be rigid, formal, or mechanical, but neither should it be haphazard.

If we use the example often referred to as The Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9–13 as an example, we find several significant components. The prayer includes adoration, submission to God’s will, petition, confession, and a plea for guidance. Today, offer your sacrifice of prayer to the Lord, then wait for His answer and guidance.
