Episode Summary: 

Have you ever gone through really difficult circumstances, and just craved a good day? A really good day? Many years ago, that’s what I longed for. In this episode, I’ll share what I’ve learned about how to have a good day by starting your day with God. When we start our day with God, He will be on your mind throughout the day, and that helps make every day a good day!

Quotables from the episode:

  • The course of our day will be directly impacted good or bad, dependent on whether we start our day with God.
  • The Bible warns how to start our day (Psalm 118:24; Psalm 103:1; Ephesians 6:11; Lamentations 3:22-23; Matthew 5:16)
  • Let’s talk about how do I pray to start a day:
    • Thanksgiving;
    • wisdom and guidance;
    • protection;
    • believing he works all things for good.
  • There’s a 5-minute morning routine that makes a huge difference on whether I have a good day or not.

Scripture References:

  • Psalm 42:8 But each day the LORD pours his unfailing love upon me, and through each night I sing his songs, praying to God who gives me life.
