Psalm 141:1-4 (Click to read NIV or select your preferred translation of the Bible. Please read the scripture first.) This Psalm is written by David. It is a good prayer to use to start any day. Verses 1 & 2 express the intimacy that David felt when he talked with the LORD in prayer. I love how David anticipates that God sees his prayers like incense rising up to him. David is not hesitant to lift up his hands to the God in prayer.
