In the Morning You Hear My Voice: 365 Poetic Prayers Reflecting the Nearness of God

When David writes, ＂O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice,＂ we hear the cries of a man coming before the Lord in desperation. The good news is God will hear his voice, but David also knows his prayers must include a season of waiting before he sees the Lord intercede in his life. David’s poetic and poignant prayers give words to the groanings of our own hearts.

In the Morning You Hear My Voice captures the unmistakable and awe-worthy presence of God through both the hard seasons and heavy realities of our daily lives. The 365 daily readings detail honest expressions before God, as well as our praise and thanksgiving to Him for never abandoning us, even in our most desperate seasons of waiting. Starting on whatever day of the year a reader begins this devotional, they receive daily encouragement as he or she prays through brief words inspired by the Psalms.

We often need words that speak to where we are and affirm where God is as we wait in hope. In the Morning You Hear My Voice provides short prayers for long seasons that are filled with daily reminders of God’s promise to never leave or forsake us.
