"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up." ~ Psalm 5:3
Morning. The beginning of a new day with no mistakes in it yet. A fresh start. A great day to see God's mercies and spot hundreds of blessings.
When I used to leave for work super early, I'd get to watch the sun rise and it'd be stunning. The sky and clouds hardly look the same. Mornings are great time to spend time with God because it helps the mind be centered on him. Plus, it's a good discipline to meet with God before prioritizing other things. But mornings are definitely not the only time God is available, so don't be discouraged if you miss it and have to meet him in the evening. Psalm 55:17 says, "Evening and morning and at noon will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice." No matter the time you reach out to God he is always open and ready to hear.
I love the lyrics to the song "When I Wake Up in the Morning." It's simple but contains a very sweet prayer to God of surrender. Just what we all need.
When I wake up in the morning and I lift up my head, I sing praise the Lord, praise the Lord.
When I roll right out of bed and my feet hit the floor, I sing praise the Lord, praise the Lord.
When I see the morning sunshine and I breathe in fresh air, I sing praise the Lord, praise the Lord.
When I spend time in God's word, talk to Jesus in prayer, I sing praise the Lord, praise the Lord.
Good morning, Lord, I love you. I just wanted you to know, here's my life, my heart, my will, my self, I yield it all to thee. Take my life and use it, guide my feet along the way. May your words my mind renew, your spirit fill me each day.
