Mornings are a gift, offering fresh mercies and renewed hope (Lam 3:22–23). They remind us of God’s faithfulness and set the tone for the day ahead. That’s why seeking God first in the morning is crucial. David declared, “O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice” (Ps 5:3).
A God-honoring morning begins with intentionality. Proper rest the night before ensures we rise refreshed, ready to glorify God through prayer and Scripture. Prayer allows us to thank, praise, and align ourselves with God’s will. Scripture reminds us of his promises, equips us for the day, and strengthens our faith.
This is not about following a rigid formula but cultivating communion with God. Whether you pray before getting out of bed, read Scripture over coffee, or take a quiet walk to reflect, the goal is to start your day in fellowship with your Creator.
Your morning routine can be an act of worship, offering your first moments to God, who renews his mercies with every sunrise. As David said, “Earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you” (Ps 63:1). May this be the cry of our hearts each morning.
