“Perhaps you went to bed last night thinking about the overdue bills, the lack of finances, the problematic people and situations you have to face. This morning you woke up. Did you give thanks? If you didn't, it is probably because you forgot that when praise goes up, the blessings come down. That should be enough to inspire you to be thankful.” PeopleIfsThinkingGivingShouldEnoughLastsFacesNightSituationMorningInspireBlessingBedPraiseBillsFinanceThanksThankfulLast NightBeing ThankfulOverdueMorning InspirationalAppreciate What You HaveNight Thinking Author:Iyanla Vanzant

“A verse of Scripture in the morning, may become a blessing for all the day. It may sing in the heart as a sweet song, from morning until evening. It may become a liturgy of prayer in which the soul shall voice its deepest needs and hungers-amid toils, struggles, and cares. It may be a guide through perplexing tangles, Gods voice whispering cheer, a comforter breathing peace in sorrow.” NeedsHeartMaySoulCareSongVoicePrayerMorningStruggleSweetSorrowBlessingHungerGuidesScriptureEveningBreathingCheerVersesToilWhisperingLiturgyComforter Author:J.R.

“Seeking - really seeking - is more than just reading a few verses from the Bible in the morning and trying to be a good person that day. Seeking requires me to sacrifice the things I feel compelled to chase so I can be available to notice God’s clear direction. Whatever we chase, like it or not, gains our full attention. Dear Lord, forgive me for all the times I’ve rushed by Your gifts and overlooked Your blessings. Today, I want to pause and really seek You with all I’ve got. I love You, Lord. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.” WantFeelsTryingPersonsI CanTodayReadingJesusNamesAttentionLordMorningClearSacrificeLove YouBlessingGainsForgivingDearSeekingAvailableVersesPausesCompelledGood PersonAmenOverlookedForgive MeBeing A Good PersonDear LordLord Forgive MeJesus NameClear Direction Author:Lysa TerKeurst
“I hit my knees every morning and every night to give thanks for being alive and all the blessings I have. And in the middle of chaos, it's been suggested to me to stop and truly look around, notice the sky, the trees, the grass, and realize you're part of it all, which is hard when you really want to focus on what you think is bothering you. However, one of the smartest things I do is check in with my awesome wife, who is really good at screwing my head back on when needed.” ThinkingWantGivingLooksHardNightRealizingMorningFocusAliveWifeTreeSkyMiddleNeededBlessingChaosChecksThanksBotherGrassKneesEvery NightEvery MorningBothering You Author:Patrick Fabian
