MEMORISE: My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. – Psalm 5:3
BIBLE READING: Isaiah 26:9

MESSAGE
When you develop the habit of starting every day with God, you will have a source of strength to draw from throughout each day. Psychologists say that it takes up to three weeks to form a new habit, and another three before it takes root. This means that a fellow can make praying in the morning a routine in just six weeks. There are three steps you must follow if you want to make praying in the morning a routine. They include:
1. Make a strong resolution: Beginning half-heartedly will make it difficult to commit to anything. Also, having an accountability partner can help when it comes to developing new habits. You can ask a friend to encourage you and remind you about your resolution.
2. Never allow exceptions: Do not allow “just this once thinking to creep into your mind. Use every opportunity to practice your new habit. Whenever the time you set aside in the day comes, start praying immediately; don’t procrastinate. 3. Rely on God: You are in a spiritual battle, and you can only succeed with God’s help. Therefore, ask for His help and depend on Him to aid you in developing the habit of starting your day with Him. My dear child, a habit is like a ball of thread: every time you drop it, some of the strands unwind. Make a conscious effort to start your day with Jesus every day.
KEY POINT: Make sure you always start your day with God.
HYMN 12:
- Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee:
Holy, holy, holy, Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons,
Blessed, Trinity! - Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea:
Cherubim and seraphim Falling down before Thee, Which wert and art,
And evermore shalt be. - Holy, Holy, Holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eyes of sinful man
Thy glory may not see Only thou art holy:
There is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Genesis 18:16-19:38; Matthew 6:25-7:14
