I love hearing different methods & approaches fellow saints, particularly time-tested ones, use in their spiritual disciplines. Today my friend @dpcassidyC3 shared verses he says each morning as he pours his coffee & begins his time with God. Inspired to share how I often start.
Please know these are the furthest things from virtue signaling. These are ways older men & women of the faith have learned to cling to Jesus for dear life because, this many years in, we are woefully aware how prone we are to wander & how weak, frail, vulnerable & sinful we are.
1st thing I do when I awake is have a brief time of worship & confession of sin. Then I pour my coffee & grab my spiral notebook & Bible. Then these are Scripture petitions the Lord led me to put together to pray regularly before I begin my Bible reading so I’m fully open to Him:
(Arranged to go from my head to feet.)
Lord,
Open my MIND to understand the Scriptures (Luke 24:45)
Open my EYES to see the wonders of Your word. (Ps 119:18)
Open my EARS to hear as a good student You equip with words for the weary. (Is 50:4)
Open my MOUTH & put words in it

that I might boldly proclaim the mystery of the gospel. (Eph 6:19)
Open my HEART to pay attention. (Acts 16:14)
Open my HANDS to the poor. (Pr 31:20)
Open the doors of opportunity you’d have my FEET walk thru. (1 Cor 16:8)
These mean so much to me. Hope they bless someone today.
