Jesus promised that when we seek, we will find, and morning seeking sets the tone for everything (Matthew 7:7).
Father, You are faithful every morning, never sleeping, never absent from my need. I confess that too often I reach for everything else before I reach for You. Help me treasure these quiet moments as gifts, not duties. Awaken my heart to hear Your voice above all the noise that will come today. Guide my steps according to Your will. In Jesus' name, Amen.
