in the morning when i rise, give me jesus

"Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul."
- Psalm 143:8

Are you a morning person who likes the first intake of breath as you wake? If you're not, waking up isn't probably the best time. It can be better, though. Try this: when you wake in the morning, thank God for letting you wake. Even if you don't mean it, it helps. You might even catch a chuckle from God as he sees you, his friend, waking.
