But Wait! (Morning Prayer)

“Let me hear in the morning of Your steadfast love, for in You I trust. Make know the way I should go, for to You I will lift up my soul." Psalm 143:8.

But Wait!...Honestly, It's so easy to forget to put God first in our mornings. After all, the coffee has already perked, the morning news is on, we need to check our email and text messages, the phone rings and life moves on into perpetual motion. Busyness, ever so subliminally, takes root and steals our time. We rush into our day without committing our day and loved ones into God's hands. Is it any wonder? The enemy knows full well this cycle of intervention, after all, he instigated it to divert our attention away from God. Simply put, If you wait, chances are you will never find time to pray. So many of our days are devoted to tending our external lives that the state of our soul becomes weighted down with things that overshadow our relationship with God, who in reality, has an amazing ability to give our souls peace. We all know that "first fruits" are special. They are "set aside" or "separated" for God. God takes care of what belongs to Him and He invites you to sit in the stillness of mornings with Him. To give intentionally from our first and best, rather than our leftovers! A busy life makes prayer harder, but prayer makes life easier!

"Satisfy us in the morning with Your steadfast love that we may rejoice and be glad in all our days. Psalm 90:14.

"Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays."

Sweetest Blessings,
