Many mothers use the technique of saying, "Eyes please!" when they want
their children to pay attention to her. She emphasizes their need to look so
they will listen.

"Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing."

Psalm 5:1

In this Psalm, David implores God to turn His ears to him so He can hear his
plea. David asks God to "consider" his sighing. To consider is another way
of saying, "Please, Lord, hear me. I'm beseeching You." David was feeling
the pressure of his enemies and seeing the wickedness of those around him.
And he needed reassurance from God that his prayers would be heard and
answered.

Can you relate to that? It is impossible to look at your country today and
not see the greed, the narcissism, the retreat from God and the turning to
everything that opposes Him. You can see corruption in so many places. So
where can you put your confidence? David tells us. In the last verses of
Psalm 5 he says to rejoice, put your trust in God - He is your sure defense.
The Lord promises to bless the righteous and protect you with His shield.

Pray for America. Lift your intercessions for the nation's leaders to God's
listening ears.
