"In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice. In the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly......." ~ Psalm 5:3
 
We’re in the midst of a couple of days of spring like weather again. I pray as you’re reading this, you have already or are currently enjoying the blessing of this beautiful day!
 
Today's message is so simple and the psalmist says it beautifully.  
 
When we pray, we know that God hears us.  
 
We then wait to receive the wisdom to comprehend His answer.  
 
May your prayers be lifted up this day and may your answers fill you with joy and gratitude!
 
I pray that God’s Holy Spirit surrounds you and fills you with strength, peace and love. I pray that the blessing of this day might be a foretaste of the glory we all hope for, when we see our savior face to face.
 
Amen!

~ Pastor Denise
