Growing up in church, I learned many of the old standards, such as "How Great Thou Art" and "It Is Well With My Soul." I also learned many (at the time) contemporary praise songs. Praise songs were a bit different "in the day" from what they are today. They were more hymn-like, and most seemed to come directly from scripture.
One that I loved was pulled from today's verses. Take a few minutes to listen to this song taken directly from the King James Version.
Putting God's word to music is a wonderful way to memorize its truths ... and these verses certainly hold much truth.
God will always "give ear" and listen to my prayers ... and my cries. When I listen, He will speak to me. When crises hit, I can look up to Him, knowing He's there, just waiting for me to crawl on His lap.
There's one last truth that touches my heart:

There's one last truth that touches my heart:
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord;In the morning ... in the morning.
In the morning I will direct it to You ...
I need to start each day, just talking with my Father God. Starting the day with Him is the best way to keep my mind and heart on Him.
O Lord, this morning, I direct my voice to You, knowing that You're listening.
