Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. 1Timothy 4:15

How you start your day sets the tone for how you’ll handle the challenges facing you throughout the day. If you simply wake, shower, get dressed and walk into the day without much thought you’ll most likely struggle to keep focused, and the day will seem long and without purpose.

I have another way of starting the day off right. Through scripture reading, bible study and prayer, you will be more prepared to tackle the day’s events and challenges. God’s word equips you for the challenges by providing encouraging words, wisdom and gives examples on how to live your life as a child of God. Prayer is your way of communicating your needs and concerns to God, allowing Him to fight your battles for you. Prayer is also a way you can express your gratitude for God’s goodness and blessings in your life. Never leave out your appreciation for God.

Want a better day? Start out in prayer, scripture reading and a daily devotional. You’ll be amazed at how the day goes by a little easier and will provide you all the necessary resources to navigate the challenges facing you. It doesn’t have to take long, maybe 10-15 minutes each morning. Your investment of time into God’s word and prayer will result in great returns throughout the day. Give it a try today! God bless!
