"The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light." Romans 13:12 ESV

God opens our eyes so we will recognize what needs to be seen. He allows us to witness the power of His love. His mercies are new each and every morning. He readies us to rise with appreciation and a willingness to TRUST.  

God loves us! As we wake to new beginnings, we have precious opportunities to choose how we will greet each day. He knows what we NEED to find PEACE from His holiness. He opens hearts as we PRAY to RECEIVE His love and sets the stage for GOOD to come. 

God helps us step in FAITH. He covers us with mercy and grace. He helps us feel the light of Jesus and warms us with the heart of His love as we surrender doubt and faithfully follow Him.  he has a plan for our days! God arms us with STRENGTH. There will never be a day without the love of our Father.  He will fuel our souls and handle EVERY single thing. We mustn’t forget to thank Him from the moment He opens our eyes.

God is always READY to hear our prayers of praise and is pleased when we welcome gratitude. He will fuel our souls so we will recognize the power of His authority to handle our days. God will nurture our desire to be prepared to rise READY. He will set the stage for what's to come as we continue to glorify Him. 

God is the light of the world. Whoever follows Him will not walk in darkness, but will have the gift of life. (John 8:12) 

Dear God, You wake us to witness the beauty of Your presence. Thank you for helping us rise in gratitude. Forgive us when we forget to seek You with a grateful heart. Open our eyes as we TRUST in You, so we will focus on what is good and faithfully follow Jesus. Arm us with everything we need to welcome each day as a blessing. You placed the stars in the sky and remind us to be patient while we wait for the sun to rise. Thank you, Lord! We're so grateful for the STRENGTH You provide each and EVERY day. Thank you, faithful Father! We love You with all of our hearts.  Amen
