I have always loved the early morning. Each day is like a fresh start! One of my favorite passages is found in Lamentations 3:22-24. Jeremiah writes, “The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, ‘The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in HIm!”
As you look at the new day stretched out before you, ask yourself, “What am I excited about today?” Each new day brings fresh excitement and hope. Even when life is hard, the Lord promises HIs love, mercy and grace. I like to remind myself to be present to HIs love through out the day. One way I set my mind to do this is to intentionally think each morning, “Why am I excited to be alive today?” This morning, I am excited to be beginning the Bible Study at my home church on The 30 Day Praise Challenge. I can’t wait to see what God does.
So what about you? Why are you excited to be alive today? Leave a comment and I’ll choose one winner to win an All Sons and Daughters CD. Leaving a comment encourages others who might feel discouraged this morning. So common…..comment away!~

Hi Becky, I was at your event with Shannon last week at Faith. I’m going through the 30 Day Praise Challenge. It’s been great in the midst of hard stuff. I’m much more open now to say “Lord, I really don’t WANT to praise, but I will. Because no matter what, YOU deserve it all.” I’ve been able to ask Jesus to turn off the enemy’s “blah blah’s” (I loved that!) I know that my hard stuff is nothing next to some others, but it’s mine and it is hard. Thanks for sharing how the Lord turned your hard stuff into beauty to encourage other women. I’m going to get praising for today! <3
Blessings,
Barbara
