“Rise up and shine, for your light has come. The shining-greatness of the Lord has risen upon you. Isaiah 60:1 NLV

God is the amazing Spirit of strength that lives within us. He is the mighty One who readies us to rise. He opens our eyes to the gifts of His greatness and helps us BELIEVE HE will do great things. 

He motivates us to find hope in what He provides. God helps us remember we have been created for a reason. He rewards the offering of our love. He reminds us to trust in Him, even when we wake in doubt and wonder. 

Our Father knows our needs! He leads us by His will. He helps us surrender fear, as we’re guided by His greatness. He helps us learn to keep on going. He arms us with everything we need to feel His presence and learn to TRUST Him MORE… 

God doesn’t want us to worry about what’s to come. He wants us to faithfully BELIEVE He will handle our days. We are lucky to have a Father who prepares us to be patient. God will set the stage for us to be rewarded. He will help us remember how very much we are loved. 

Dear God, We’re thankful to wake and spend time in Your presence. As we open our eyes and wait to be guided, help us remember who sets the stage for what’s to come. Prepare us to welcome Your peace, as we learn how to totally TRUST. Teach us to be patient as we’re grown in Your greatness. And, help us remain faithful in our grateful praise for YOU. Amen
