Drawing from Psalm 5:1-3, this sermon challenges believers to establish a consistent, intentional morning practice of prayer with God. Using King David as the primary example, Pastor Bernard outlines five essential qualities that should characterize how Christians approach God each morning: directly, humbly, personally, consistently, and expectantly. The sermon emphasizes that how we begin our day shapes how we navigate both its blessings and its difficulties. Just as David, even as a king himself, prioritized daily communion with God before anything else, believers are called to make God the first appointment of every day. The sermon also draws on the example of Jesus, who consistently withdrew to pray even amid an extraordinarily demanding ministry. Ultimately, the message is one of expectant faith-that those who bring their sighs, their cries, and their voices to God each morning can trust that he hears, listens, and will respond according to his will.
