Morning Motivation: Exhilarating Christian Morning Ritual Ideas
The way I begin my day is to fill my heart and mind with the endless encouragement found in God’s word. The Bible is packed with uplifting truths to motivate and comfort me, providing excellent inspiration in the morning. I keep 5 specific Bible Verses marked so I can easily find them every morning. Starting my day right makes a huge positive impact on my life. I hope these Bible Verses help get your day started right as well.
The importance of a morning routine.
People often ask me why I read the same Bible Verses every morning. I always tell them how routines aren’t only beneficial to children. I have found that a set morning routine is super rewarding emotinally and spritiryually. I don’t have to think about which Bible Verses I will need in the morning because I already know. This also means I can save time when I am running late and I am less likely to skip my morning readings due to time restraints. I will read more of the Bible some mornings, but I always read these verses first.
These are the Five Bible Verses I use to start my morning.
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.” (Psalm 28:7) As you wake up to greet a new day, remember that the Lord Himself is the source of your strength, protection, and help. You can wholeheartedly trust in His power to equip you for any challenge.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) What an amazing assurance that our loving God deeply desires to bless you with a life of hope and a promising future. His intentions towards you are forever good.
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4) No matter your circumstances or worries, you can choose to find your joy in the Lord each new day. Rejoicing in Him is a vital key to living with purpose and positivity.
“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” (Zephaniah 3:17) What an amazing picture of how God feels towards you. The Almighty Creator loves you so dearly that He sings over you and takes wonderful delight in you. Allow His affection to fill you with joyful confidence.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9) When you feel discouraged or tired of pursuing good works, remember this verse. If you persevere and don’t lose heart, there are rewards waiting for you in due season. Your labor is never in vain.
That’s it. You would be surprised how much positive impact these short readings have on my life. After I read these morning Bible Verses I spend just 5 minutes in quiet prayer and meditation. I recommend doing this ritual alone because other people can distract you from forming a strong connection with God. This is not a ritual that I want to do in half measures. After my morning ritual, I know I have given my day the best possible chance of being a great day.
More Great Bible Verses for Morning Meditation
If you are feeling the Holy Spirit and you want more Bible Verses to read in the morning then these are great verses to begin with. These Bible Verses are all about mornings.
“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24) What a beautiful reminder to begin each new morning with an attitude of gratitude and joy! No matter what circumstances you may face, you can choose to actively rejoice in the gift of a new day from God.
“The Lord’s loving kindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” (Lamentations 3:22-23) God’s love, mercy, and faithfulness are renewed day by day. You can wake up to fresh provisions of His steadfast compassion, no matter what happened yesterday.
“But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.” (Psalm 59:16) What better way to start your day than with a song celebrating God’s infinite love and strength? He is your safe fortress to run to, no matter what troubles you’ll face.
“The Lord will keep you from all harm – he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” (Psalm 121:7-8) You can go forth into your day with confidence, knowing that the Lord has your back. He lovingly watches over every aspect of your life’s journey.
“In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.” (Psalm 5:3) Invite the Lord into your daily activities by starting your morning with prayer. Lay your hopes and needs before Him expectantly, and wait with patience and trust for His direction.
I hope these Bible Verses help get you going in the right direction in the morning. Another activity I always do in the morning is to make a gratitude list. I spend about 1 minute saying out loud 10 things I am grateful for and thanking God for them. I then spend just 5 minutes in quiet prayer and meditation.
I recommend doing this ritual alone because other people can distract you from forming a strong connection with God. This is not a ritual that I want to do in half measures. After my morning ritual, I know I have given my day the best possible chance of being a great day. My entire morning motivation routine takes me less than 15 minutes and it is well worth the time.
