in the name of Jesus we pray amen when
2:37
we choose to start our day by dedicating
2:39
time to God we are telling ourselves and
2:41
the world that he is our priority it
2:45
doesn't mean the day will be perfect but
2:47
it does mean that we will be more
2:49
spiritually prepared to handle whatever
2:51
comes our way there is a transformative
2:53
power in beginning the day with prayer
2:56
and communion with God Jesus himself
2:59
showed us this truth truth in Mark
3:02
1:35 we see that Jesus early in the
3:05
morning would go to a solitary place to
3:07
pray even though he carried the weight
3:10
of the world's salvation on his
3:11
shoulders Jesus recognized the
3:13
importance of starting the day by
3:15
connecting with his
3:17
father if the Son of God needed this
3:19
guidance how much more do we the
3:22
busyness of Modern Life often tries to
3:24
steal our peace before we even leave the
3:26
house our phones are full of
3:28
notifications and social media bombards
3:30
us with comparisons and
3:32
distractions but when we make the
3:33
intentional choice to put God first we
3:36
create a Sacred Space in our mornings to
3:38
hear his voice and align ourselves with
3:40
his will the practice of dedicating the
3:43
first 15 minutes of your day to God can
3:45
take many forms but the key is
3:47
consistency and
3:49
intentionality let's talk about how to
3:51
do this practically gratitude when you
3:54
wake up Begin by thanking God for the
3:56
new day the simple fact that you've
3:59
opened your eyes eyes is a gift
4:01
recognize the blessings he's already
4:03
given you this act of gratitude reminds
4:06
us of who the provider of all things is
4:08
and prepares our hearts to receive more
4:10
of what he wants to give us
4:13
scripture reading choose a passage of
4:16
scripture to meditate on it doesn't have
4:19
to be a whole chapter just a verse or
4:21
two that speaks to your heart the word
4:23
of God is alive and powerful and it has
4:26
the ability to renew our minds and
4:27
transform our thoughts when you place
4:30
God's truth as the first thing you hear
4:32
in the morning it sets the tone for the
4:34
rest of your day prayer after reading
4:37
the word take some time to talk to God
4:40
share what you're feeling the challenges
4:42
you see ahead and ask for his help in
4:44
facing them don't be afraid to be honest
4:47
God knows your heart and he wants you to
4:49
bring your worries hopes and fears to
4:53
him listening to God often we're so
4:57
focused on talking that we forget to
4:59
listen
5:00
after your prayer take a moment to
5:02
silence your mind and let God speak to
5:04
you he may place a word an impression or
5:08
a feeling of Peace on your heart this
5:10
quiet moment is crucial to hearing what
5:12
he wants for you today when we make this
5:14
a daily habit we start to notice that
5:16
our minds and Spirits are more in tune
5:18
with what God desires for us as the day
5:21
goes on challenges may arise but our
5:24
spirit will be more prepared to handle
5:25
them in a way that honors God and brings
5:27
us peace this this is the secret to
5:30
living a life of inner peace and purpose
5:33
it's not that challenges disappear but
5:35
with God at the Forefront we face each
5:38
one with faith and confidence knowing
5:40
that he is with us when we dedicate our
5:42
Mourns to God we align our hearts with
5:45
his purpose think about how different
5:47
your day feels when you start it with
5:49
intention it's like preparing the soil
5:52
before planting seeds without
5:54
preparation the seeds May grow but they
5:57
won't Thrive when we prepare prepare our
6:00
hearts by seeking God first we allow him
6:02
to plant seeds of faith hope and wisdom
6:05
that will grow throughout the
6:07
day one of the greatest examples of this
6:10
comes from the life of King David
6:12
despite being a king with countless
6:14
responsibilities David made it a
6:16
priority to seek God in the morning in
6:19
Psalm 143:8 David writes let the morning
6:22
bring me word of your unfailing love for
6:25
I have put my trust in you show me the
6:27
way I should go for to you I entrust my
6:29
my life David understood that no matter
6:32
how powerful or capable he was his true
6:34
strength came from God alone when we
6:37
take time in the morning to connect with
6:39
God we're also making a statement of
6:41
trust we're saying lord I can't do this
6:44
without you I trust you to guide me to
6:47
open doors and to give me wisdom for
6:49
every decision I face today it's an act
6:52
of surrender acknowledging that God's
6:55
ways are higher than our ways and his
6:57
thoughts are higher than our thoughts I
6:59
Isaiah
7:01
55:9 thank you for your patience I will
7:04
continue with the remaining sections
7:06
keeping in mind the
7:08
guidelines second reflection block 5,000
7:11
plus characters when we begin our day by
7:14
seeking God's presence we're not just
7:16
adding another task to our morning
7:17
routine we're making a spiritual
7:20
investment one that will pay dividends
7:22
throughout the day dedicating the first
7:24
15 minutes of the day to God may seem
7:26
like a small action but it carries a
7:29
tremendous mendous impact on how we
7:30
approach the rest of the day it's a way
7:32
of saying Lord I give you the best of my
7:35
time my thoughts and my focus knowing
7:38
that you will equip me for everything
7:40
that comes after the beauty of starting
7:43
our day with God is that it grounds Us
7:45
in his peace not the world's chaos Jesus
7:49
knew this well in the gospels we often
7:52
see Jesus retreating to quiet places
7:55
sometimes early in the morning to pray
7:57
and seek the father's will Mark the
7:59
verse in verse 35 gives us a glimpse
8:01
into this habit very early in the
8:03
morning while it was still dark Jesus
8:06
got up left the house and went to a
8:08
solitary place where he
8:10
prayed this was a time for Jesus to be
8:13
alone with God to recharge and to
8:15
refocus before going out to minister and
8:17
face the challenges ahead if even Jesus
8:21
the son of God needed these moments of
8:23
communion with the father how much more
8:26
do we we live in a fast-paced world one
8:29
that constantly pulls at our attention
8:30
from the moment we wake up notifications
8:33
emails and social media scream for our
8:36
Focus but when we choose to silence
8:38
those distractions and focus on God
8:40
first we make room for his voice to be
8:42
the loudest in our hearts think about
8:44
this what would your day look like if
8:46
you started every morning with the
8:48
assurance that God is walking with you
8:50
imagine facing your meetings family
8:52
responsibilities and challenges with the
8:54
confidence that you're not doing it
8:56
alone that's the power of starting your
8:58
day with God God he becomes your source
9:01
of strength your anchor in the storm and
9:03
your guide through every decision
9:05
there's a verse in Lamentations 3: 22 to
9:08
23 that reminds us of the beauty of
9:10
God's mercies renewed each morning
9:13
because of the Lord's great love we are
9:15
not consumed for his compassions never
9:17
fail they are new every morning great is
9:20
your faithfulness each day God offers us
9:23
a fresh start a new opportunity to
9:26
receive his grace his wisdom and his
9:28
peace how do we tap into that it begins
9:31
with
9:32
intentionality setting aside those first
9:34
15 minutes for God means making a
9:37
conscious choice to start the day in his
9:39
presence but what does that practically
9:41
look like here's a simple structure you
9:44
can follow to dedicate your first 15
9:46
minutes to God one worship and praise
9:50
begin with worship play a worship song
9:53
or simply offer words of praise to God
9:55
for who he is this helps set the
9:57
atmosphere and focuses your heart on on
9:59
his
10:00
goodness
10:01
two scripture reading spend a few
10:04
minutes reading a passage from the Bible
10:06
it could be from the Psalms the gospels
10:09
or any other part of scripture that
10:10
speaks to you let God's word speak to
10:13
your spirit if you're unsure where to
10:15
start the book of Psalms is filled with
10:17
prayers and Reflections that can guide
10:19
your heart in the morning three prayer
10:23
after reading the word spend time in
10:25
prayer talk to God about your day your
10:28
hopes your fears and your needs ask him
10:32
for his guidance and wisdom be honest
10:34
with him and let this be a time of open
10:37
communication four quiet reflection take
10:40
a moment to be still this can be the
10:42
hardest part because our minds are often
10:44
racing with thoughts and plans but in
10:46
this Stillness allow God to speak he may
10:50
bring a sense of Peace A word of
10:52
encouragement or simply remind you of
10:54
his
10:55
presence sometimes the most powerful
10:57
moments come when we stop talking and
10:59
start listening by making this a daily
11:01
habit we position ourselves to receive
11:04
God's best for us we're reminded that no
11:06
matter what happens during the day we
11:08
have already invited God into our lives
11:10
and have asked for his guidance this
11:13
practice also helps us develop a deeper
11:15
relationship with him as we learn to
11:17
recognize his voice and his leading in
11:19
our daily
11:20
decisions there's a deeper level of
11:22
trust and surrender that comes from
11:24
dedicating the first part of your day to
11:26
God you're acknowledging that no matter
11:28
how capable you are you need his wisdom
11:30
and strength to navigate life Proverbs
11:33
3: 5-6 encourages us trust in the Lord
11:37
with all your heart and lean not on your
11:39
own understanding in all your ways
11:41
submit to him and he will make your
11:43
paths
11:44
straight when we give God our mornings
11:47
we're entrusting him with the direction
11:49
of our
11:50
day one of the greatest benefits of
11:52
starting your day with God is the peace
11:54
that it brings this peace doesn't come
11:56
from external circumstances it comes
11:58
from the deep assurance that God is in
12:01
control in John 14: 27 Jesus says peace
12:05
I leave with you my peace I give you I
12:08
do not give to you as the world gives do
12:11
not let your hearts be troubled and do
12:13
not be afraid this peace is available to
12:16
us every morning and it's what sustains
12:18
us through the ups and downs of life
12:20
when we seek God first we're also
12:22
reminded of our purpose we don't live
12:25
aimlessly we have a mission a calling
12:28
and a Divine Purpose that God has placed
12:30
within us starting the day with him
12:33
helps us realign our hearts with his
12:35
purpose giving us Clarity and focus for
12:38
the tasks ahead remember dedicating the
12:41
first 15 minutes of your day to God is
12:44
not about checking off a religious Duty
12:46
it's about cultivating a relationship
12:49
it's about choosing to invite him into
12:51
your life and asking for his guidance
12:53
strength and wisdom the more you do this
12:57
the more you'll begin to see the fruit
12:58
of it in your life life you'll notice
13:00
that your reactions change your
13:02
decisions become more aligned with his
13:04
will and you experience a deeper sense
13:06
of Peace this is why it's so important
13:09
to make this time with God a daily habit
13:12
it may not always feel easy especially
13:14
when life is busy but the rewards far
13:17
outweigh the effort Matthew 6:33 tells
13:20
us but seek first his kingdom and his
13:22
righteousness and all these things will
13:24
be given to you as well when we put God

first everything else else falls into
