My morning reading routine

You know that feeling when you're starting your day and it just feels... right? For me, that's what my morning reading routine gives me. It's not just about flipping pages; it's about setting my spirit right before the world gets its hands on me. I mentioned feeling stuck, and honestly, we all go through those seasons. Rebuilding my relationship with God from the ground up has been a journey, and these 'morning routine books' truly anchor me. I aim for at least one chapter from each, and it makes a huge difference. Let me tell you more about the specific books that make up my 'morning routine for the spirit': First up, "Upon Waking A Sixty-Day Devotional" by Jackie Hill Perry. This one is a powerful start! Jackie Hill Perry has a way of diving deep into scripture that truly challenges and encourages. It’s perfect for grounding your thoughts in truth right from the start. Each day offers fresh perspective, making it easy to digest even if you're not a morning person. It sets a beautiful tone for reflection and prayer. Then there are the incredible 'Deanna Lorea books': "UNRAVELED A love letter to those finding their way" and "UNDIGNIFIED The Lost Art of Being Hidden". 'UNRAVELED' really resonated with me. If you’ve ever felt like your life is a bit of a tangled mess, or you’re in a season of rediscovery, her words are like a warm embrace. She speaks to the heart of what it means to be a woman seeking God’s purpose. And 'UNDIGNIFIED'? It's such a profound read, especially in a world that constantly tells us to be seen. It's about finding strength and purpose in quiet devotion, reminding us that sometimes the most impactful work happens when we're hidden with God. While some might search for 'Deanna Lorea husband' related topics, these books truly focus on personal spiritual journey and identity in Christ. And finally, for those of us on a journey of faith and perhaps looking towards marriage, "31 Prayers for my future Husband and I" by Jennifer & Aaron Smith is a game-changer. This '31 Prayers for my future husband book' isn't just about finding 'the one'; it’s about preparing your own heart, praying intentionally for your future spouse and relationship, and trusting God’s timing. It's incredibly practical and spirit-led, shifting your focus from anxiety to prayer and peace. It's a beautiful way to invest in your future relationship, even before it begins. If you're thinking of starting your own 'morning routine for the spirit,' here’s what I’ve found helpful: Start small: Even 10-15 minutes can transform your morning. Don't feel like you need an hour right away. Find your space: A quiet corner, a comfy chair – make it your sanctuary where you can focus without distractions. Be consistent: It’s okay if you miss a day, just pick it back up tomorrow. Progress, not perfection! Journal: Sometimes I’ll jot down a thought, a revelation, or a prayer inspired by my reading. It helps solidify what I've learned. These books aren't just reads; they're companions on my journey to growing closer to God. I hope they can be for you too, helping you feel less stuck and more connected!
