Scripture Reading : Psalm 5
Theme : Morning Prayer
Prayer of Dependence (1–3).
When in distress, the psalmist quickly cries out to God for help. There is no formality, just earnest prayers. He depends on God every morning through prayer and watches God to answer.
God Hates Evil (4–10).
God hates evil in all forms such as lying, hatred, and destruction. There is no evil in God. Evil is under His sovereign control, but in the Messianic Kingdom, God will take care of the problem of evil once for all. Even in the midst of distress, believers must understand God hates evil and must not participate in evil, but walk in righteousness.
Prayer of Faith (11–12).
In the midst of distress, pray to take refuge in God and rejoice with other believers who take refuge in God. Know that God is a shield to His people. He is righteous, therefore He will faithfully protect His people.
Praying the Scripture
Pray that you will be dependent on God every day by praying to Him every morning to help you to worship God, obey Him and seek protection from evil. God is our shield and He is there to help us to get through this evil world and overcome it with the gospel. If you live your life without God’s strength, you will live in weakness. Your worship will be weak, your character will be weak, and you will be weak in the things that God has called you to do. Pray to depend on God daily.
经文：诗篇5
主题：早晨的祷告
依靠神的祷告（1-3）。
诗人在困苦中立即向神呼求求助。祷告求的是恳切，不是形式。诗人每早晨藉着祷告投靠神，并等待神的应允。
神恨恶罪恶（4-10）。
神恨恶各种形式的恶，如谎言、仇恨和毁灭之事。在神里面没有邪恶。邪恶虽然在神的主权掌控下，但在弥赛亚国度里，神会一次解决罪恶之根。即便在困苦中，信徒必须明白神恨恶罪孽，所以不能参与罪恶之事，乃要行义。
信心的祷告（11-12）。
信徒在困苦中要祷告投靠神，并与投靠神的众信徒一同欢欣。要晓得神是祂子民的盾牌。神是公义的，所以祂必因信实保护祂的子民。
用经文祷告
祷告你会天天依靠神，藉着每日早晨的祷告助你敬拜神，顺服神，并保护你远离罪恶。神是我们的盾牌；祂要助我们度过这罪恶的世界，并以福音胜过它。你若在神的力量之外度过今生，你就会活在软弱中。你的敬拜会很缺乏，你的性格会很软弱，你也会在神召你行的一切事上显得不足。祷告你会天天依靠神。
