“O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise Your name; for You have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.” Isaiah 25:1 (NRSV)
Prodigal Thoughts: How do we start our days? One friend of mine told me that before his feet hit the floor while getting out of bed, he thanks God for new mercies, breath in his lungs, and God’s presence in his life. Even before the dust of the day begins to cover his shoes, he is praising his heavenly Father for all of the people and situations he will encounter that day. Now, I’ll be honest. I am usually slow to wake up and I have to convince myself to get out of bed. Not that anything is wrong or bad, I just don’t sleep well. But when I take the time to thank God in the mornings and throughout the day, I don’t get near as overwhelmed or anxious. Sometimes it is small habits we make that can help order our thoughts and align our hearts with His.
Prayer for today: I pray that we would begin to praise God first thing in the morning and continue to praise and thank Him throughout our days. That He would bless you and keep you, and make His light shine upon you.
If you need prayer, please reply and I will pray for you. If you would like to talk about this verse or have questions, I’m always open for your feedback.
May the love of our Heavenly Father fill you…
