Overcoming Morning Worry with God's Truth
By: Kristine Brown "Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." - Psalm 90:14 When I wake up in the morning - during those first few moments between sleep and lifting my eyelids - I begin thinking. I try and will my muscles to come to life and pry themselves away from the warm covers, but with futile attempts. It seems my mind wants to start working before everything else does. Most days, my first thought is about that steaming cup of coffee waiting for me in the kitchen. But then that one innocent thought takes an unexpected turn, and before I know it my thoughts land on the worries of the day before. It's hard to gain control of our thoughts when we wake up. Especially if we went to bed rehashing the problems of the day and wondering how everything could possibly work out. I'm guilty of praying and giving my thoughts over to God, but then trying to figure it all out on my own. The first few moments of the day have the potential to set us on a positive course. What a difference it makes when we fill those first few moments with joy-filled thoughts! However, they can also leave our minds vulnerable to wandering thoughts. Worry can happen first thing, when we're most unaware of the danger. In order to train our minds to follow the desired path, we need to be intentional and prepared. Having a verse memorized to begin our day will help us wake up focused on God's Truth. "Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." Psalm 90:14 NIV
