Win the Morning

Thank you Jesus for giving me this day. Thank you Jesus for the opportunity to live it for you. Make me a blessing to those around me. Make my heart beat in time with yours so that I can bring your perspective to each situation that I find myself.

Father, my intelligence cannot compare to yours. Please give me the wisdom to see your plan in my life and help me to follow your direction.

God, you are worthy of all my praise, and You created me to praise You! So please show me how to worship you in all that I do! When people look back on my life, I want them to give You glory. So please teach me how to make my life an act of worship. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.

The Jesus Prayer

Yes Lord, I want all that you ask and all that will please you.

Lord, into your hands I abandon my past, my present, and my future.

Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5

And he answered and said, You shall love the Lord your God with your whole heart, and with your whole soul, and with your whole strength, and with your whole mind, and your neighbor as yourself.

Luke 10:27

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances. For this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

Do not be conformed to this age but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you can prove what the will of God is, that which is good, well pleasing and perfect.

Romans 12:2

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

James 4:10

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:27

You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:13

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

Jeremiah 33:3

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

John 10:10

Only someone who is silent is listening.

Disappear and let God be all.

To reach satisfaction in all, desire its possession in nothing.

If calmness is needed for thinking, silence is needed for love.

We must seek a contemplative quality of life.

Simplifying my life does not mean I'm living my life any less profoundly.

Union with God demands departure of self.

Our love has to face its own poverty as an awakening to our need in God in Christ.

With an intimate and developing one-on-one relationship, God reveals himself more.

God is God and we are not.

I am exactly where I need to be.

Everything is today.

The answer to fear is faith.

Jesus lived as we did, so we could live as he did.

Wisdom is knowing and having discernment, so that we can apply the truth of the Word of God at the right time, in the right way, and with the right motive.

Wisdom is the power of the soul to know truth. The rational mind can prohibit comprehending truth; through the heart we can perceive and understand the deepest truths.

My purpose is what I choose it to be when I am conducting it in accordance to my whole heart, my whole soul, my whole strength and my whole mind, and loving my neighbor as myself.
