But I am trusting you, O Lord. I said, “You alone are my God; my times are in your hands.” Psalm 31: 14 TLB

God opens our hearts to welcome the blessing of each new day. Sometimes we wake in strength, ready to welcome ALL He provides; eager to praise the love of His faithfulness. We feel prepared to welcome His presence. But sometimes we wake in fear; fragile when worry opens our eyes.

There’s a reason God wants us to call on Him, before we choose to rise. He helps us remember WHY we need Him. He arms us with opportunities to witness the power of His love. And He provides STRENGTH to keep on going...

The Bible says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” Proverbs 3: 5. We don’t have to figure out everything on our own. And we don’t have to worry about what’s to come. God is with us! As we trust in Him, He shows us how to handle our days.

We must take time to recognize we are blessed! God will fill us full of everything we need. If we surrender worries, He will remind us who is working for the good. We must seek Him before we choose to rise. He will help us welcome peace! He is God! He will show us amazing things, if we choose to remain faithful and begin each day with the prayers of our praise!

Dear God, Thank you for the power of Your love. Thank you for providing opportunities for us to be strengthened by YOU, when we feel fragile. This is the day YOU have made! We will rejoice and be glad! Give us strength to surrender our worries and help us find peace in Your presence. Thank you for showing us what happens when we totally trust. We will begin this day in praise and welcome what YOU will provide. Thank you for reminding us we are blessed. Thank you for joy that comes from our grateful hearts. Amen
