A Verse To Start Your Mornings!!

I've been going through a great Bible study lately, and one of the verses that I read this morning popped out and made me think of you.


Psalm 143:8 


"Let me hear of Your unfailing love to me in the morning, for I am trusting You.  Show me where to walk, for I have come to You in prayer."


With only a few more weeks of summer left and the school year rapidly approaching, I was thinking of how you girls will get up each morning to face another day at school...and that is not always easy.


I know you all face so much competition, comparison, pressure, stress, and other issues daily.  For some of you it is easier than others; and for some it is a daily struggle just to try to keep up and survive the day.


So when I read this verse that said, "Let me hear of Your unfailing love in the morning, for I am trusting You" I thought of you girls, and how each morning before you get up for school to face the day, you can remember God's love will never fail you and that you can trust Him.


And when I read, "Show me where to walk, for I have come to You in prayer"  I thought of how if you seek God in prayer daily, He will guide you throughout your days as you face life as a teenager.


There is a lot of comfort in this verse for me, and I hope you find comfort in it as well.  Maybe you could write it on an index card and post it on your mirror or in your locker so you will see it each morning before school and know you are loved with unfailing love, and you have a God whom you can trust and whom you can come to in prayer to guide each step you take.


Because remembering those beautiful truths is the perfect way to start each morning!
