Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I entrust my life.
- Psalm 143:8 (NIV)
I am normally the first one awake in my house (except for the cats who want breakfast right now, even on the weekends).
I have come to treasure that quiet time with my coffee and my devotions, the time to surrender myself to God and ask Him to guide my day.
Our problems are temporary, but God is eternal and there is nothing that He won’t get you through.
Most everyone has a morning routine; part of mine is to share a message with a word from God and my thoughts about it.
Sometimes I ramble and make no sense, other times it all ties up in the end and my readers nod in agreement.
Trusting in God can be hard sometimes, we all face times where we are lonely and full of doubt.
Times when it seems like our prayers just bounce off the ceiling and fall in broken pieces at our feet.
It can feel like God is distant, unsympathetic, or just not listening to our cries for mercy and help.
Yet it’s been scientifically proven that surrounding yourself with good and happy thoughts improves your attitude.
If we focus on the things that are wrong in our lives, we will quickly become discouraged and that can start our day on a sour note.
But if we spend time each morning with God, praising, thanking, and praying, learning to put our trust in Him, well, the day may not be so bad after all.
Take Jesus into your day and it will be better.
