“יְהֹוָה בֹּקֶר תִּשְׁמַע קוֹלִי בֹּקֶר אֶעֱרָךְ לְךָ וַאֲצַפֶּה”
“O Lord, in the morning You shall hearken to my voice; in the morning I shall arrange to You, and I shall look forward”
Some people can’t start their day without cup of coffee and newspaper. For others it is a shower or some exercise.
First thing the King of Israel, is a prayer to HaShem. The first thing I do upon my getting up, says David, is to talk to you. Not demanding, not because I’m certain you will answer my prayers positively – Just for the sake of talking to HaShem. And thus, pray and expect it / look forward for You to answer my prayers.
