Begin Your Day with God’s Word
WINONA, MN – The way you start your day sets the tone for everything that follows. If you wake up feeling stressed, rushed, or overwhelmed, it’s easy to carry that negative energy throughout the day. But when you begin with God, you invite His peace, joy, and direction into every moment.
The Bible says in Psalm 5:3, “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.” By spending those first few moments with God, you align your heart with His will and set yourself up for success.

Prioritize Your Spiritual Health
Your spiritual health is the foundation for every other part of your life. Just like you wouldn’t skip breakfast, don’t skip time with God in the morning.
When you feed your spirit with His Word, prayer, and worship, you’re nourishing your soul and building the strength you need to face whatever comes your way.
Life can be unpredictable, but when you’re rooted in God’s truth, you can handle any situation with grace and confidence.
Three Affirmations to Consider
- I am starting my day with God, and He is guiding my steps.
- I am filled with God’s peace, no matter what comes my way.
- I trust that God’s plan for today is better than my own.
Let God’s Peace Lead You
When you start your day with God, you allow His peace to fill your heart. That peace becomes your anchor, holding you steady no matter what happens throughout the day. Instead of reacting to stress or anxiety, you can respond with faith and trust.
Remember, God is with you in every moment, and His peace is available to you at all times. Let that peace lead you as you navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of a new day. We choose to start this day with You, seeking Your guidance and wisdom in everything we do. Fill our hearts with Your peace and remind us to trust in Your plan, no matter what comes our way. Help us to keep our eyes on You and to walk in faith, knowing that You are with us every step of the way. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
