The Bible gives us some excellent examples of how to develop a very successful personal devotional life at the beginning of each day. In Psalm 5: 1-3, we find a prayer from David.

Hear, O LORD, my words; Consider my moans. Be attentive to the voice of my cry, my King and my God, for I will pray to you.

Especially note this verse:

"O LORD, in the morning you will hear my voice, I will come before you in the morning and I will wait."

If we look closely, we will realize that verse 3 has three key elements in regard to personal devotion.
In the first place, David emphasizes that it is in the "morning", the first part of the day, when God will hear his voice, perhaps in praise and song.

Second, it is in the "morning" when he directs his prayer to God, presenting his wishes and needs. And finally, wait for the blessing of your heavenly Father.

Just as young children who wake up call their parents, David's first thoughts at the beginning of the day were directed to his heavenly Father.

As a well disciplined soldier in his training appears at the beginning of the day to receive orders from the commander of his company, David appeared before his heavenly commander to receive his orders.

We pray not only to receive the blessing, direction, health, spiritual strength and relief from God's burdens, but also to submit to his desires. Personal devotion begins with an attitude that says: "I recognize that it is you, O God, who sustains me and loves me more than I can understand." It is an attitude that says: "Lord, I know you have a purpose for my life, please help me to fulfill it today."

That is an attitude that makes us recognize God as sovereign, so we are at your disposal to serve you.
Personal devotion is an attitude of reconsecration of our life to God, which is renewed every day.
