Testimony Part 2: The Morning I Couldn’t Escape
Friday, April 25th, 2025.
I woke up at 7am drained. Not physically, but emotionally.
I don’t even wake up early like that, but that morning… it was different.
The second I opened my eyes, my thoughts came rushing in
All the weight I’d been carrying…
All the things I couldn’t control.
I told myself, Just go back to sleep. Maybe if you sleep, you won’t have to feel it.
But instead of closing my eyes, I reached for my phone
Just started scrolling. Mindlessly.
Trying to numb it.
Then this quiet voice in me said, You’re already up… go read the Bible.
And I thought, Yeah… yeah, you’re right. Let me do that.
But before I got to the Word, I got distracted
Went to the bathroom, started doing extra stuff.
Then I started picking up around the house.
Ended up in the kitchen, washing dishes that could’ve waited.
And while I’m standing there, hands in the water, I hear it again
Weren’t you going to read the Bible?
That’s when I felt it…
That tug. That gentle pull back to what mattered.
So I rushed to finish and finally sat at my desk.
I opened my notebook and flipped through the pages
Reading my old prayers… my questions.
And I landed on the ones I wrote the night before.
I looked at them and just sat there. Still no answers.
So I whispered, God… I still don’t know. But I’m open. Guide me.
And that’s when something shifted.
That’s when the unexpected happened.
Watch out for part 3

In our busy lives, distractions often pull us away from what truly matters. Mornings can be especially overwhelming, filled with the weight of unanswered questions and emotional exhaustion. Many experience days where they feel stuck in their routines, unable to find clarity or peace. The importance of establishing a morning routine that includes spiritual reflection is paramount. Research suggests that engaging in quiet activities like prayer and reading can significantly reduce anxiety and improve overall well-being. For instance, many believers find that their daily devotional practices enhance their focus and provide a sense of purpose throughout the day. Reading the Bible, or any spiritual texts, can provoke introspection and inspire a shift in perspective. Creating a dedicated time for reading can set a positive tone for the day, helping to shift from mindless distraction to purposeful living. A consistent morning routine that involves reflection often leads individuals to discover new insights and guidance for the challenges they face. As you ponder over your morning practices, consider integrating affirmative thoughts and prayers. Remind yourself that it’s okay to seek help and acknowledge uncertainties in your life journey. Allow yourself to be open to the guidance you seek - whether through divine intervention or personal revelations while engaging with your faith. In doing so, you can foster a deeper connection to your spirituality that ultimately guides you towards inner peace and clarity.
