Reflect on Psalm 5:3: “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.” Read this verse slowly, letting its rhythm calm your heart.

Lectio (Reading): Picture yourself at the start of a new day. Imagine laying your hopes, fears, and plans before God, as the Psalmist does. What do you wish to offer Him today?

Meditatio (Meditation): Focus on one moment from yesterday—perhaps a joy, a challenge, or a quiet encounter with God. How did He speak to you? Consider how daily prayer opens your heart to His presence.

Oratio (Prayer): Speak to God from your heart. Thank Him for this new day, for His constant love. Ask for strength to live for Him, as Philippians 4:6 urges: “Present your requests to God.” Offer your day to His glory.

Contemplatio (Contemplation): Rest in God’s presence. Imagine Jesus sitting with you, as He did with His disciples. Feel His peace, as Psalm 145:18 promises: “The Lord is near to all who call on him.” Let this closeness carry you through the day.

Close with a simple prayer: “Lord, thank You for this day. Guide me in prayer and love, now and always. Amen.” Return to this meditation daily, trusting God to deepen your faith through prayer.
