“And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve Him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the Lord sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek Him, you will find Him. But if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.
1 Chronicles 28:9

Morning LORD!

Oh my goodness, Father, Your Word this morning is wonderful! You are always encouraging me to know You intimately. You are always right there for me, unfortunately I am not always ready to listen. You are always welcoming me back from my wanderings.

I am so honored that You have chosen me to work with You. I thank You for Your Words of encouragement, to keep me on Your path and for the courage I will need to glorify You in this world.

To realize it is Your heart’s desire to have an intimate relationship with me, makes my soul soar with joy and wonder.

I want to seek You at every turn of my day, to look for You in every person I meet, to greet You in my heart. You are so amazingly awesome and I love You so much!

Amen

Melchizedek blessed Abram with this blessing: “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
Genesis 14:19

Good Morning My Beautiful Father,

You are so extremely grand and wonderful, my words cannot proclaim Your majesty appropriately. I am some times frustrated that I don’t have the words to tell You how much You mean to me. Times like this, Father, I am so grateful for Your Spirit, who knows my heart and can proclaim to You how I feel. To tell You, I love You, in Your language is my heart’s desire.

As You blessed Abraham those thousands of years ago, I know today You have blessed me. When I read this scripture, my mind soars. To think I can be blessed by the Creator of heaven and earth, I want to fall down at Your feet and worship You.

Remind me how much You have blessed me, Father. Remind me to bless others with Your love. As the holidays approach, remind me not everyone has as much as I do. Open my eyes and heart to give where You lead me. As the days unfold, remind me I am Your Light Bearer to this world!

I love You!

Amen

The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in Him.
Nahum 1:7

Good Morning Jesus,

How delightful to be with You this morning. The later sunrise lets me be awake and watch it with You. The cooler weather is wonderful for me and I just love the fall of Your creation. It always feels like it’s time to snuggle in and let Your love warm my soul.

You are so extremely good to me. As I was reading in Your Word the other day, I was reminded that You not only died for me, You died instead of me. I worship You in awe to realize just how much You love me.

I know, Jesus, that You are always with me, when I get in trouble You are always right there. But, I just don’t want to come to You when I’m in trouble, I want to be with You in the good times, also. Please help me to focus on You daily and talk to You always, in the good times and bad. I want to be so close to You I can hear Your heartbeat. I want to know You in my soul. What is so powerful is to know that You want to be close to me and those around me. How special You are. I love You, Jesus!

Amen

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.
Proverbs 17:22

Good Morning Jesus,

I love You so very much. You are always the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow. You are so steadfast and faithful and I am so glad I can come to You.

I seem to be a grumpy goo this morning, LORD. I know I’m not always up and cheerful, but this is just not going to be a good day. All I can seem to see is the negative, it doesn’t look like there can be a silver lining to any of the clouds.

Please forgive me for my attitude this morning. Let me sit with You and be washed in Your presence. Please give me Your vision for the day and take joy in that. Remind me to look for You today, I know I will find You even with my frame of mind.

However, Jesus, I want more than that, I want to have a cheerful heart, even in spite of my circumstances. I want to be good medicine to those I meet today. I can only do that through Your Spirit and love.

How wonderful You are to let me unload on Your shoulders this morning. After telling You how I was feeling, my joy for the day returns. Whatever will come, I know You are right here with me, pouring Your good medicine into my soul!

I love You!

Amen

But I trust in Your unfailing love. I will rejoice because You have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord  because He is good to me.
Psalm 13:5-6

Good Morning Jesus,

Your unfailing love and faithfulness is always such a joy for me. Each morning Your mercies are new and I have a fresh start to glorify You. My past sins and failures are forgotten, it is today that You are interested in, and today I want to bring a smile to Your face!

Through this day, I will trust in You. I know Your love will surround me. I will rejoice and be glad because You have rescued me from myself. How generous You are with Your grace.

I will sing a new song today, so I will remember just how good You are to me.

Please help me to place this scripture on my heart so I will live with the joy of Your love each day.

Amen

“But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you.
Luke 6:27-28

Good Morning My Jesus!

How wonderful it is to sit with You a few moments this morning. Life seems to be going so fast and right now there seems little time to breathe. I cherish these times when I can be in Your presence and know Your peace and love.

When I was reading Your Word this morning LORD, this one jumped off the page at me.  How many times have I read it? How many times have I tried to love my enemies? And I do try to love and pray for them. However, this morning what caught my eye was, ‘but to you who are willing to listen’.

How willing am I to listen to You? Not necessarily by a verbal voice, but by Your Words, the thoughts You place in my mind, Your comments to me by others. It makes me stop and think and wonder, am I willing to hear You? Or do I just hear what I want and let the rest fall away?

I’m not sure Jesus, so today I will be very conscience and aware to listen for You. I will look for You in the scriptures I read, listen for You in what others are saying and take quiet moments to think on what You have said.

I love you so very much Jesus. I thank You for being my Savior!

Amen

Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.
Philippians 1:3

Morning Jesus!

Have I told You lately just how much I love You? You are the very best I could ever have and I adore You.

As I meet people today, please help me to give thanks to You for placing them in my life. Even if they are grumpy, remind me to pray for them and to give them some joy in their day.

When a challenge comes up, remind me to give thanks, for I know You will help me to work it out.

Everything in my life is a blessing from You. Today I want to give You glory for all I have!

Amen

No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what He requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8

Good Morning My Jesus!

How lovely is Your creation.  As I wake this morning, I see a freshness to the dawn. I see the world coming to life for the day. You have refreshed me all and given me such an amazingly beautiful world to live in.

I so enjoy Your creation now, but then I think on Your New Jerusalem, my mind can’t understand how wonderful it will be. I thank You for that hope of yet to come.

You ask so little of me, LORD, and still I can’t seem to get it right. I fall short of what You desire at every turn of the day. I get so wrapped up in my life, I forget what You ask.

So, I ask today that You will remind me what is right, not in my own thoughts and ways, but Yours. If I seem to be going in the wrong direction, please show me Your right way.

Help me to be merciful, as You are so generous to me. Help me to look past others’ mistakes and see what they are going through and encourage them.

Most of all I desire to walk super close to You all day, I want to be in Your presence and love. I want to please You with my life!

Amen

Therefore, change your hearts and stop being stubborn.  
Deuteronomy 10:16

Morning Father!

You are my Friend, You are with me every moment of every hour and I adore You. You are precious to me and I love You with my life.

You are also my LORD and Savior, my God, the King of the Universe and I never want to forget that. You have the power to crush galaxies, yet, compassionate when I fall and scrap my knees. You will bend down and pick me up. I pray that my actions, thoughts, and life will reflect the honor You and only You deserve.

Father, I know I am a stubborn child. I know I always want to do it my own way. I know I can be a challenge to You and others. But, I thank You for not giving up on me. For guiding me to be a softer and more understanding person. Help me to realizing there is more than one way to get something done and it doesn’t always have to be my way. I thank You for molding me into the child that only You can see. Please don’t quit working with me.

I praise You, LORD, for spending this time with me. Thank You for Your strengthen for today. I love You just because You are my God!

Amen

The LORD is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in Him.
Nahum 1:7

Good Morning Father,

Thank You for waking me early today. It’s so wonderful to sit in the quiet and listen to the world wake. You do give me joy, when I spend these moments with You.

You are my good and strong LORD. Your power amazes me, yet, it is Your gentleness that makes me stand in awe. You come to my heart with so much love and care. You show me how wonderful You are and then ask me to join You in this life. You never force me, but gently woo me with Your love. I have never been the same, LORD, since I have come to You.

I take joy in the fact that I am not the same, that You are shaping me into the person You know, that You created me to be! It’s a wild ride sometimes, Father, but I always know You are my strong tower. You are my refuge for the rest of this life.

Thank You so much for loving me and helping me to trust You with each step I take. Thank You for being my God!

Amen
