Last year we asked that you just ponder this verse for the day.  
Psalm 5:3
In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. 

What would happen if we just laid our requests before Him each morning?  What would happen if we didn't pick up our "baggage" and carry it with us during the day?  What would happen if we just let Him handle things?  What would happen if we just LET GO and LET GOD handle things?  Maybe we should try that!!!
  
The psalms listed in today's reading truly are psalms of the troubled soul.  David was quick to call out to the Lord when he was troubled but most always ended with thanksgiving or praise.

Psalm 5
Prayer should be at the beginning of the morning and the end of the evening and all during the day. Don't you think He delights in our little conversations with Him?  David says He wants us to take sides with Him against the things He hates. 

Psalm 6
Sometimes during the day we may find ourselves down in the valley weeping as we go, overcome with sorrow and pain.  If we look up to Him, we can see that He is just waiting for us to trust Him enough to take those tears and put them in His "tear bottle".  He will dry our cheeks and take care of our pain.

Psalm 7
When our enemies, our accusers come against us and slander us, we must remember that we have a righteous judge in the court of heaven, a defense attorney, and one who pays the penalty for all our sins. 

Psalm 10
Psalm 10:1
Why, O Lord, do you stand far off?  Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
Hmmm...ever feel that way?  Why do we always assume God is the one who left?  If God seems far away...guess who moved???
Read verses 2-11 and see if that doesn't sound like characteristics of Satan.  We just need to remember that at the throne of the King, all wrongs will be redressed.

Psalm 11
There is One who pleads His precious blood in our behalf  and is an Intercessor at the right hand of the throne who is never deaf to the cries of those who put their trust in Him.

Bottom line for today's reading?  Reread Psalm 5:3!

Psalm 5:3
In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. 

Lay requests before Him each morning.  Don't pick up the"baggage" and carry it during the day.  Let Him handle things.  For heaven's sake, LET GO and LET GOD!
