And before you panic about your inability to wake up with the morning light, know this. The steadfast love of the Lord is not limited to early morning.
Prior to the adoption of my son, I spent years waking early to have my “perfect” morning quiet time.
And while it was a great way for me to function well each day, that was a season disrupted by some serious hard times.
The point is this. Sit with these Scriptures whenever you can, and know that the love of God never changes for you. Let’s get started.

12. Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We Can Learn So Much from Children
If this is the first time you’ve stopped by, it’s important to know that I’m a mom, educator, and someone who has served in Children’s Ministry for more than 17 years.
And over the years I’ve come to realize how poorly we treat children in our culture.
Unfortunately, that includes the church.
If and when you’re in the presence of a child, remember how powerful your words can be to their long-term beliefs about themselves.
15. Psalm 90:14
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

19. Psalm 130:6
I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
Sometimes, it’s easy to get caught up in trying to fix all of life’s problems and worries. (Believe, me. I’m preaching to myself here.) In a time of distress with my son, I remember finally hitting a wall.
I wanted the answer to “What’s the right thing to do?”
My child’s behavior was out of control through no fault of his own, and I had no idea how to help him or my other children.
It was then that I realized that the best way for me to help my kids and family was to wait. I could do nothing else.
Was it fun? Did I handle it perfectly?
Nope. And yet, the Lord’s mercies never changed.
And today, I look back and can’t believe how far we’ve come. If you’re overwhelmed and moving through your darkest valley, know that your Heavenly Father is in this with you.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
In a season of deep grief, I lived and breathed the Word of God in ways I never experienced before. I had lost a daughter midway through my pregnancy and was devastated.

David failed miserably here. And yet, he knew he could find his comfort in the Lord.
