Do you know how to organize your prayer life? Psalm 3-5

Psalms 5:3 (NASBStr)

In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice;

In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.

David was a great King and a great follower of God.   Notice what Paul says about King David in one of his sermons from the book of Acts:

Acts 13:22 (NASBStr)

After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘ I have found David the son of Jesse, A man after MY heart, who will do all My will. ’

David had a desire to know God and see God act on his behalf and on the behalf of God's people.   That type of desire and life doesn't just happen.   In the above portion of Psalm Five we see part of the secret behind David's success as a follower of God.   In the above Psalm we see that David outlines his daily approach to life.   He starts his day, early in the morning, in prayer.   But, it is not just hap-hazard prayer.   It is prayer that David states, "In the morning I will order my prayer ..."!    The Hebrew word for "order" is used several times in the Bible to show some strategic planning.  It is used to describe how the Tabernacle and the Alter were set up.   It is used to describe how armies aligned in battle with other armies.   It is used to describe how something is organized and laid out.   What David is telling us in Psalm 5:3 is that his prayer life was organized and structured.  He didn't pray when if liked to.  He prayed in the morning and organized (ordered) his prayer life before God.   David didn't just make sure his prayer life was organized, however.  He also made sure the element of faith was carrying his prayers to the ear's of God.   At the end of the verse he says he would "eagerly watch" to see what God does in regard to his prayers.   The statement is like that of an archer who shots an arrow and waits, viewing the flight with anticipation of it hitting his target.   In faith, that is what we are supposed to do.  We offer our prayers to God and wait in anticipation of God's answer(s).   We can be assured that God will hear them and that God will answer in His own way.   If we want to be a strong believer and a great follower of God we need to make sure we don't just approach our spiritual life and relationship with God in a way that is not willy-nilly (thats a great Greek Word of not good).  David structured his prayer life, which led to a life that was pleasing to God.
