Bible Verses for the Morning.
Many believers in Scripture met God early. David prayed in the morning and waited for the Lord. Jesus rose before dawn to pray alone. The morning sets the direction of the day.
These verses are for starting the day with God: remembering his mercy, asking for his guidance, and giving him the hours ahead. Read one slowly before you pick up your phone.
