Job 5:9 (NIV)
He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.
I can’t count the wonders God has performed on my behalf. I don’t know the half of them.
Good morning, Lord. How many times have You blocked a path leading to trouble? How many times have You delayed me and kept me out of danger? How often have You miraculously intervened to protect me from disaster? Far more than I know. I thank You for blessings I cannot count.
God counts the hairs on my head.
Luke 12:7 (TLB)
And he knows the number of hairs on your head!
I can’t even count the hairs I pull off my hairbrush and throw in the trash.
Good morning, Lord. You are all-knowing: how many stars, how many grains of sand, how many hairs on my head. You not only know where I am and what I’m doing, You know where I will be later today, next week, next year. Set my feet on the path of righteousness and keep me between the guardrails of Your protection, in Jesus’ name.
In the eternal scope of creation, my life is like a single grain of sand flowing through the divine hourglass — hardly noticeable. And yet, God notices.
Psalm 139:17-18
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
Good morning, Lord. Every second of every day, You’re thinking of me. Would that I thought of You as often. Forgive me for getting distracted, for thinking only of myself, for failing to notice Your presence. Open my eyes, ears, heart and mind to the blessings that surround and sustain me.
“Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.”
Julia Abigail Fletcher Carney (1923-1908)
I’m a little drop in the big sea of humanity …. just like everyone else.
Good morning, Lord. Your eye is on every single person in all the world — amazing! And You have a plan for each one of us. Show me Your plan for me for this day, this week and into the future. Your will be done, by me and through me, amen.
Hebrews 10:23 (MEV)
Let us firmly hold the profession of our faith without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
Because God is faithful to me, I am faithful to Him.
Good morning, Lord. I look back and see Your hand guiding me to this point in time. This gives me confidence to trust You to lead me going forward. Your will be done, in me and by me, today and in the days to come, amen.
Do you have doubts? Do you struggle to believe?
To live with no faith at all would be worse.
Isaiah 1:4 (NASB)
… People weighed down with guilt,
Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who act corruptly!
They have abandoned the Lord,
They have despised the Holy One of Israel,
They have turned away from Him.
Woe to those with no faith at all.
Good morning, Lord. I want to be as faithful to You as You are to me. “I believe, help my unbelief” (Mark 9:24).
“Faith sees the invisible,
believes the unbelievable,
and receives the impossible.”
Corrie ten Boom (1893-1983)
Good morning, Lord. I cannot see You, but I trust You. I do not believe the beauty of this world came into being on its own — it is a reflection of Your glory. May the delicacy of roadside flowers and the splendor of tree-covered hillsides remind me how much You love the world and all who dwell there in, including me.
Matthew 17:20 (NLT)
“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”
My self-talk is often negative:
Faith says, “With God’s help, it can and will be done.”
Good morning, Lord. If You call me to do something, You make it possible. Teach me to have faith in Your call and Your timing. Close my ears to the enemy’s whispers telling me it can’t be done. Open my eyes to Your power at work in and through me.
Hebrews 11:1 (AMP)
Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed) …
By faith you hold the deed to God’s divine promise. That’s a promissory note that will carry you into eternity.
Good morning, Lord. I am grateful for Your promise of a glorious eternal future. I didn’t earn it, I don’t deserve it, I owe it all to You. You are gracious and merciful, and I am blessed.
Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
I can do all this through him
who gives me strength.
My own power is limited. Through God’s power, I can do more than I think I can.
Good morning, Lord. I get tired so easily. It doesn’t take much to confuse or distract me. All too often, I tell myself, “No way. I just can’t.” If it’s Your plan, I have access to Your power and You say, “Yes, you can.” Teach me to look up and declare, “Let’s do it, in Jesus’ name!”
