I will hurry, without delay, to obey Your commands.
Psalm 119:60

Good Morning My King,
You are so special to me and I love You. My heart beats with Your love and I anticipate this day with great joy.

Father, I can be so challenging to You, I know. I want to obey You, yet I often turn my back on what You are asking me to do. My mouth says I’m here, yet my feet are often turned the other way. I get so frustrated with myself, how must You feel? Please forgive me, I want to change, I want to hurry, without delay, to obey Your commands.

You are not a taskmaster, asking me to do things I’m incapable of doing. You are not a slave driver, pushing me beyond my endurance. You are my loving and giving LORD, asking me to do more than I ever thought I could. You encourage me, so I can know the joy of serving You.

I want to listen to You today Father. I want to bring joy to Your heart and a smile to Your face.
I Love You!
Amen

But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.
Psalm 92:8

Good Morning My Wonderful Love,
How great You are to be so faithful to someone like me. Every morning You wake me with Your love and each night I fall to sleep in Your peace. You are everything to me.

Your Word this morning, Father, is so simple and yet so mighty. Everything on this earth will fall away, but You will remain. The universe could dissolve, but You will always be God.

Not only will You always be, You will be exalted. Since You designed mankind, Your Name has been spoken. Since You have revealed Yourself, Your Name has been lifted up. 

Now it’s my turn. I have the honor to proclaim Your greatness.
You, O LORD, will be exalted forever!
Amen

“I’m not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.”
John 17:15

Morning Jesus!
Thank you for waking me this morning with Your presence. You are so special to me and I love this time we can have together. You refresh and renew me as no other can.

I know, Jesus, that You have me in this special place for this exact time. I also know that You have prepared me to be Your disciple. I know too that You never promised me a rose garden.

As I begin my day I would ask that You will give me Your wisdom and insight, that I will recognize the enemy when he approaches and call on Your power to defeat him. You have already won the victory, I just have to claim it in the power of Your Name.

Help me to serve You with energy and passion today. I want to glorify You in all I do!
Amen

Then Jesus said, “Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28

Good Morning Jesus,
Thank You for the extra rest You bless me with last night. You know exactly what I need and provide so generously. You know me better than I know myself!

There are times, Jesus, that I do try and carry more than I should. I feel what I do is important and I should be doing it, but then I take on one more activity. Before I know it, they have all become burdens and the joy is gone.

Then there are the responsibilities that just happen in life. The need to take care of aging parents, raising children, work requirements. It seems like they all mount up at the same time and I feel overwhelmed.

You are such a joy, Jesus. You want to carry all the parts of my life and help me through the tough times. You are always asking me to come to You, even if things are going well. You know what I’m going through. You bless me with the rest that only You can give. You give me the support I need. All I have to do, is come to You.

I know that my circumstances won’t change overnight, but my attitude and heart can. You will lift me above my life chores today. How wonderful You are and I love You so very much!
Amen

Enter His gates with thanksgiving; go into His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and His faithfulness continues to each generation.
Psalm 100:4-5

Good Morning LORD!
How wonderful to wake up with You this morning. I know that today is the day that You have made and I will rejoice and be glad in it. Your faithfulness and love give me the reason I live and I will praise You with my whole being!

As I come into Your courts this morning, Yahweh, I will worship You with the fullness of my soul. I want to tell everyone I meet how great You are. 

Help me to focus on You during worship this morning. Please put the blinders on so I won’t be distracted from Your presence. I want to please You and bring a smile to Your face.
I will worship and praise You in faithful devotion today.
Amen

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let Me.
Luke 13:34

Morning Jesus,
Thank You for this wonderful morning. I had the opportunity to sleep in a bit, and now I’m here with You, watching the world wake.

Your Word this morning made me stop and think. I know I have broken Your heart many times in my life, yet Your mercy keeps flowing into my soul. You know that I’ve tried to choose correctly, but so often ignore Your leading and do it myself. Please, Jesus, forgive me for the hurt I have brought on You.

When You use the word picture of a mother hen covering her chicks under her wings, I have a vision of what that is. She protects them, keeps them warm and dry and will give up her life before she would give up a chick. You tell me that’s the way You want to take care of me. How could I say ‘no’ to that way of living?

But, as with Your people of ages past, I don’t let You. Why am I so stubborn and willful? Why can’t I allow You to do what You so much desire to do, to protect me? Please, Jesus, forgive my actions of doing life alone.

As I go through this day, help me to remember that Your protection is always with me, I just have to move closer to Your heart. You have already given Your life to save mine, please help me to live in that victory.
Thank You so much for being my LORD and Savior. You are the love of my life!
Amen

Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Colossians 3:13

Good Morning Father!

The sunrise this morning was beautiful, yet I know it’s not anywhere as beautiful as You. When my mind takes a tour through Your Universe and I see the magnificence and grandeur of Your work, I know that You are even greater than all I can see. I praise You for letting me see into Your heart.

Jesus, I want to give as much grace to those I meet as You have given to me. Help me to look past the challenges they present and give grace. Help me to see into their hearts and lives and give grace. You are the Grace Giver I want to reflect. I thank You for the mercy You so generously give to me.
Amen

I pray that they will all be one, just as You and I are one—as You are in Me, Father, and I am in You. And may they be in Us so that the world will believe You sent Me.
John 17:21

Good Morning My LORD,
Thank You for the beauty of this morning. I see it through tired eyes, but Your creation still takes my breath away. The crisp, cool air is refreshing and makes my vision so crystal clear.

My vision may be clear this morning, but I know my attitude is not always so. I get frustrated with myself, LORD, when I think my way is the best and other’s are just messing things up. I know You want us to be of one heart and mind, but it’s so hard. I also know You created us, each one to be unique in our own way. So how do we become of one heart and mind?

Help me to think on this today. To truly understand how I can be one with others who claim You as their King, and yet, still be the unique person You created me to be. Help me to see Your purpose for me and to live out that purpose.
I love You Father!
Amen

God replied to Moses, “I AM Who I AM. Say this to the people of Israel: I AM has sent me to you.” God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. This is My eternal name, My name to remember for all generations.
Exodus 3:14-15

Good Morning My Love,
How great You are to me. I will give You praise and glory today for just being my LORD. I want to honor and exult Your presence in my life through every action. I desire for people to see You first and me second.

I love how You spoke with Moses so many years ago. You shared Your name with him and how complete it is: I AM. I am humbled that You would share it with me, Your eternal name, the name for all generations to remember.

Father, I ask for Your forgiveness for the many times I have taken Your name in vain, taken it for granted or not given Your name the honor it deserves. Help me to understand the preciousness of Your name and lift it up on high.

I AM, to be remembered for all generations. There are so many in this world that have never heard of You. Please give me Your strength and courage to tell someone about Your love. Remind me that it will be You speaking through me, and Your Words will bring You glory!
Amen

Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in Your instructions.
Psalm 119:18

Good Morning Yahweh,
What a wonderful day to wake up with You! You are my Father and I adore You. You are precious to me and I will sing of Your greatness all day long!

Thank You for opening my eyes to Your Spirit. I find I’m beginning to see and think of things in a new and wonderful way. I am seeing You where others only see space. I see Your love in others where some only see people. Thank You for giving me these spiritual eyes.

Help me, Father, please to see into Your Word this morning. I know there will be something exciting and new to understand. As I go through the day, remind me to think on Your truths. As I go through this life, give me the strength to live out Your truths.
I want to please You Father, I want to bring a smile to Your face!
Amen
