Reflection: Meditation is A form of prayer: It is considered a form of prayer that goes beyond simple vocalization. It’s a way to be with God in silence and stillness, to ponder His nature, and to grow in love and communion with Him. 

As you pray through Psalm 5, think about His nature, His character, His love for you and talk to Him about how you can further your communion with Him.
