Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Hebrews 13:8

Good Morning Jesus!
How wonderful You are to wake me each morning. It doesn’t matter if the sky is gray and cloudy or if I see the beauty of the sunrise. When I am able to be here with You, the warmth of Your love fills me. I am so content to be in Your presence.

Your Word this morning, Jesus, it’s just wonderful! In the simpleness of the verse is the power I can trust to build my life on. To know that You are the same today that You were 2,000 years ago gives me so much security. To know that Your Word is as good for me in this year, as it was to Your disciples when they heard it the first time, helps me to learn to trust You. Most of all to know that You will be exactly like You are now, forever and always, helps me face the future. You are my LORD, my foundation and stronghold. I want to always run to You with not only my hurts but my joys. I praise You for being the love of my life!
Amen

But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night.
Psalm 1:2

Good Morning Father,
What a beautiful morning You have created. The air is still crisp but the sun is warming the earth as it rises. That’s just what You do for me each day. I don’t always feel Your presence with me, but as Your Son rises in my soul, I come to life with His warmth. How precious You are to me!

I have to confess Father, I don’t always have delight when I think on Your Word. There are times the words come in through my eyes and never even stick long enough for me to remember what I read. I know I’m reading them, but I don’t comprehend.

Today, with Your help, I want to change that. I would like for You to give me a verse that I can think on throughout my day. As I jot it on a card to take with me everywhere, please give me insight and wisdom into what You are telling me. Help me to understand what You are saying. Please give me the delight to be in Your Word.

But, I know Father, I can ‘memorize’, ‘meditate’, and ‘ponder’ on a verse my whole life and that still isn’t enough. I want to live Your Word. Give me the strength to start today with one verse, so I will be a delight to You!
Amen

The one thing I ask of the Lord—the thing I seek most—is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, delighting in the Lord’s perfections and meditating in His Temple. Psalm 27:4

Good Morning My Savior,
I praise You for this day. You have created it and I want to rejoice and be glad. I want to notice my surroundings today and see what I never have noticed before. I want to be awed as I see Your work in this world.

Jesus, I do so enjoy being with You. Reading and studying Your scriptures. Letting You give me new insights and thoughts. To realize that Your book is all about You and how You work through ordinary people to make the world understand how much You love them.

Help me, Jesus, to always be excited to spend this special time with You. Please continue to fan the flame of passion in me. I want to be learning from Your Word, to take what I learn and begin to live it. I know sometimes it will be scary to take that step, I need You to give me courage and to remind me not worry about what others might think of me as I live for You.

You are my LORD and I do adore You. Thank You for letting me walk with You today!
Amen

God will do this, for He is faithful to do what He says, and He has invited you into partnership with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:9

Good Morning Father,
Oh my goodness! You are so amazingly wonderful, my heart wants to explode with joy this morning. My first thought was of You. I was encouraged to get out of a warm bed and come to You in our private place and know Your presence. You have opened my eyes in Your Word and I am awed with the out pouring of Your love on me.

I love You Father!

Your faithfulness to me is unexplainable. I am so undeserving of it, yet, I am so grateful You haven’t given up on me. You are constantly calling me to come, holding out Your arms so I can snuggle in. How could I not come?

Yet, this morning I’m reminded again that You have invited me to be a partner with Your Son! I’m not just a hired servant, I’m His partner! You have asked me to do my life with the Messiah! How could I not accept this invitation?

But, there are many times through the day, LORD, that I do reject You. I don’t want You to see where I’m going, my actions towards someone else, or even what I am thinking. Please forgive, help me to open up all the areas of my life so I will be a good and faithful partner. I want others to know of this relationship I have with You!
Amen

One day Terah took his son Abram, his daughter-in-law Sarai (his son Abram’s wife), and his grandson Lot (his son Haran’s child) and moved away from Ur of the Chaldeans. He was headed for the land of Canaan, but they stopped at Haran and settled there. Terah lived for 205 years and died while still in Haran.
Genesis 11:31–32

Morning Father,
What a glorious morning You have given me. Thank You so very much.

Your Word this morning gave me pause. Abram’s dad took his son, and family and headed out for Canaan. They arrived at Haran and settled in. It might have been for short while, to rest and regroup for the rest of the trip. Yet, for some reason, they stayed and never moved on. They were content with where they were.

So many times you have shown me the great plans You have for my life. I will start to head toward them, but then get content with what I’m doing and decided to settle in. Like Terah, I miss the big adventure You set me on and let the grass grow under my feet. Please forgive, LORD.

You are so extremely faithful and I praise You for not giving up on me. Help me today to move toward what You have created me to be. Give me strength to just put one foot in front of the other. And as I journey with You, I will give You glory for just being my LORD and Love!
Amen

All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; He alone is God. Amen.
1 Timothy 1:17

Good Morning Yahweh,
You are the Great I AM, the Mighty One, the Creator of the Universe and all it holds. I bow before You with all that I am and give my life to You.

In all I do, I want the honor and glory to be given to You. You are forever and always, You will never die, You will never forsake me, You alone are God.

You are the unseen One, but for those who You call to be Your child, we can know You, really know You. We see dimly now, but there will be the day that I will see You as clearly as You see me now.

You are my Shelter, Refuge and eternal King, and I love You!
Amen

Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.”
Zechariah 4:10

Good Morning Father,
It’s good to be with You this morning. I seem to have had a hard time getting here. I haven’t felt great and my mornings have just been out of sync. How wonderful You are to give me the encouragement to be here now. The delight of watching the world wake is always so peaceful to me. Thank You, my King.

Father, You know I get so discouraged with myself. I want to change the world for You, yet I stumble and fall. I bite off more than I can handle. I don’t know which way to turn. I beg You this morning to please show me Your way. Open my eyes and let me see the path I should take, help me to focus only on You and not what I think I should be doing.

As I pick up to start again today, Father, remind me that it may not be the big step I want, but the little step I need. I need to remember that just to be starting will give You great joy. Help me please, Abba, to just start.

I praise You for the peace and refreshment You have given me with Your Word. The plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand was the very beginning of the rebuilding of Your Temple. It was to make sure the foundation was on solid, level ground. I will walk with You Spirit today, to make sure my foundation is on solid and level ground! I love You so very much!
Amen

When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.
Isaiah 43:2

Good Morning Yahweh,
You are so wonderfully good to me. I praise and thank You for the protection You provided last night as I slept. I thank You for the rest You gave me and the morning light You woke me with. You care about my nights, so I can work with You in the day.

Things seem kind of tough right now, Abba. There is so much going on in my life, so many demands pulling me this way and that. I’m tired and stressed and I don’t want to live my life this way.

Your Word this morning reminds me that when I get this way, You are with me. As I go through difficult times, You will guide me. When the heat gets turned up, You will protect me. Thank You for giving me this to think on today.

You have never promised me a rose garden, but You have promised to never leave or forsake me. As I go through these challenges, I will claim Your promise and have courage.

You are so special to me, Father. Thank You for being my stronghold. I love You!
Amen

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.
Matthew 6:33

Good Morning Yahweh,
You are my precious LORD and I love You. Your glory shines through this morning and I want to stay in the warmth of Your presence all day long. Please show me how I can worship You with my life!

Abba, please help me to seek You first in everything I do today. From choosing what to wear, to what I will eat at mealtimes. I know You want my whole life, not just the ‘big’ choices I make. You want to be in a relationship with me that covers every moment of life, show me how I can do this.

I praise You, Father, that You care so much that You will give me all I need for this day. Not necessarily all I want, but what is most important. I ask for Your presence and peace today. I thank You for loving me. You are my King!
Amen

But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?
Romans 10:14

Good Morning Jesus!
You Jesus, are the King of my life and I adore You. You are so precious to me and I thank You for calling me to be Your child and to be with You this morning.

Your Word this morning really jumped out at me. It’s exciting and scary at the same time. You are asking me to be Your voice in this world and I’m not sure I know how!

I know I have confessed that I am a sinner and can’t do anything without Your presence in my life. I know You are the Son of God. But, then I think, how do I know all this?

It’s because someone in my life told me about You. They spoke Your Word and I heard and made the choice to follow You.

Jesus, I hear You calling me to tell someone about You, but I’m scared.

What do I say?
When do I say it?
What if they don’t listen?

All that doesn’t matter if I let You do the talking. I will trust You today to speak through me. Help me to remember that this isn’t about me, it’s all about You. I want to be a blessing to You as I proclaim Your love those you place in my presence today.

Thank You so much Jesus for being my strength today!
Amen
