Do you start your day with alarm bells ringing? or children yelling? How does your day start? Bringing God into your day from the very start will help you stay calm and serene while the world blows up around you :-)
I know this is difficult to accomplish. Your eyes open, but chances are your brain has been awake for a while, subconsciously speaking. For many of us there are distractions that demand your attention right out of the gate. How do you maintain a prayer habit during times of chaos? You have to make it short, simple, and repetitive. The more times you can accomplish a prayer before rising from the sanctity of your bed, the further along you’ll be in your journey with God.
I use the same short message to God every day. You can use whatever you want that fits into your life circumstances. This is my prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I praise your Holy name and Thank You for bringing me safely through the night. I ask that the Love of Jesus fill my heart that I might give back that Love to all I encounter. Please armor me in the Holy Spirit, from my nose to my toes, and protect me from Satan as I go about my day. Thank you. Amen
