From Lamentations 3:22-23: “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
Early morning arrives
Filled with mishmash of thoughts
Searching for peace of mind
Asking God, call the shots
Waiting in the kitchen
Prayer time with the Lord
His spirit calms life down
Life’s outlook feels restored
Table’s Bible invites
Reading, learning God’s Word
His insight teaches truth
Daily lessons inferred
Accepting God’s invite
Dressed for an autumn walk
Dialog moves outside
Let’s continue to talk
From Isaiah 57:19: “Peace, peace, to the far and the near, says the Lord; and I will heal them.”
I love the ending of this poem! ‘Dressed for a morning walk…let’s continue to talk outside.” God meets with us wherever we are…be it over our morning cup of coffee, or taking a walk in the crisp, fresh air.

Very powerful. I start each morning with 15 minutes of gratitude. I call it my morning prayer, where I cite through all to be grateful for. This is a powerfully grounding experience that opens the soul to messages God sends. Thank you for sharing.
