I rise before dawn and cry for help; I have put my hope in Your word. – (Psalm 119:147, NIV)
I get up early in the morning to pray to You. I trust what You say. – (Psalm 119:147, ERV)
Before the day dawns, I’ll be crying out for help and wrapping Your words into my life. – (Psalm 119:147, TPT)
Each morning, I am intentional to rise early and seek the Lord before I begin my day. Planned purposeful time sets my heart and mind on Him, and reminds me anew of who God is and how He loves and cares for us. The more I trust Him, the more I find hope as the day unfolds. Even when trials come, He is near and His word is hidden in my heart to remind me of the truth that I can always trust. May we ever seek the Lord at the start of each new day, and place our trust in all that He has to say.
Each day I choose rise,
To call on the Lord;
Set my heart and mind,
On truth He’s outpoured.
For as we choose seek,
And trust in His word;
His faithfulness shown,
And goodness is heard.
Let us choose to wake,
And pray unto God;
He’ll meet as we seek,
Despite how we’re flawed.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You meet us each morning as we rise and seek You. Thank You that You do not have qualifiers for us to come before You. Thank You that You are faithful to meet us as we call on Your Name, and You renew our trust as we spend time with You. Forgive us for allowing the worries of the world to take our attention off of You, the One who is the solution. Teach us to trust You more, so that we ever rise and seek You, the Provider of truth. Show us how to love those around us well, so that all might understand that You are worthy of all of our trust. May many come into a lasting relationship with You. Be glorified O God, as we seek You anew each day, and trust in all that You lovingly say. Amen.
