Giving my Day to the Lord

1 Chronicles 23:30

They were also to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD. They were to do the same in the evening

As I am getting older, staying up late isn't the pleasure that it once was. I don't like the feeling of starting my day feeling exhausted and having to fight to wake up, and likewise at night I find myself falling asleep earlier from pure exhaustion after a long, busy day.

I would like to find a happy medium between the two for a couple of reasons.

I like starting my day early because I have time for me and time for God that I can use to make sure my day begins as it should. I don't always remember to put God first and give Him control of my day. It is easier to put God first if I wake up early and in those quiet moments, I give the day to Him.

I like to end the day without being completely exhausted, because I would like to give all my cares to the Lord and I simply don't remember to tell Him, "Thank You." Not that He doesn't know I appreciate that He made it so that I accomplished all I could for Him in this day, just that I would like to stay awake long enough to thank Him for the opportunity. When I can praise the Lord, it is a good day.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

God bless.
