Start Your Day with God
"My voice You shall hear in the morning, O LORD; In the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up." – Psalm 5:3 NKJV
Reflection
Starting the day by directing our hearts and voices to God sets the tone for everything we will face. It allows the rest of the day to flow with peace and facilitates the practice of hearing from Him. Even when hindrances arise, pressing through in our pursuit of Him helps make this morning connection second nature. The benefits we reap from this daily endeavor strengthen us to stay on course with His will.
Application
Begin each morning with prayer and worship, acknowledging God’s presence as soon as you wake. Speak to Him sincerely, sharing your burdens, requests, and heart. Invite Him into every area of your life, and ask for His wisdom and guidance for the day ahead. Trust that starting your day with Him will anchor your steps and fill you with peace.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for the privilege of starting each day with You. I lift my heart and voice to You in prayer and worship. Please guide my steps, grant me wisdom, and fill me with Your peace throughout the day. Let my mornings with You set the tone for all that lies ahead. I look up to You with faith and trust, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
