“Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD . Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly.” Psalm 5:3 NLT
I do not know if it is more difficult for me or for Famous when we say good-bye each morning. I look forward to the day ahead, but I remember the fun we had when he was able to jump into the car with me and spend the day under my desk.
Perhaps he does not remember those days, those early days when we were rarely separated. These days he understands the routine calls for him to camp out most of the day by himself. I try to keep my voice cheerful as I describe the day before us, whether I have a late meeting, or whether he should expect workers in the yard. I hope my voice gives him a feeling of affection and assurance, and that it is not my desire to ignore him or forget him.
God asks us to remember He is with us throughout the day. If we call out to him out of our need to reconnect as the day begins with expectations of meeting him along the way, then we will also find his favor as He remembers us.
Hear my prayer today, Father, and give me joy in Your presence.
