Prayer and reading can set the day in the correct direction. The best time to pray is in the morning.
Prayer is a relationship with God that comes from spending time with God. The best time is in the morning before 50 thousand other things distract us. Morning time sets the day in the correct mode.
The Bible verse in Psalms is from the Rotherham emphasized translation.
A great Bible verse is Mark 1:35, “and rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed“. The Lord Jesus spent time in the morning in prayer to get himself in alignment with God, the Father. Jesus also prayed that the whole day would be in the Father’s will, purpose and direction. His morning time set the direction for the whole day.
From the context of this passage we can discern that Jesus probably prayed in the region of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. The above picture was taken from another boat on Sea of Galilee.
How do we know Jesus prayed this way? Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. This is a portion from the familiar Lord’s Prayer.
