A fresh day for you to use

“By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me— a prayer to the God of my life.” (Psalm 42:8)

As time goes by

Everyone has exactly the same amount of time each day to use; a 24-hour period of 1,440 minutes, or 86,400 seconds.

Two brothers with two attitudes

I heard of twin brothers; one was negative, and the other was positive. One woke up each morning and said, “Good lord, it’s morning!” His sour attitude dictated his day, and it was filled with negativity. When the other brother woke up each morning, however, he said, “Good morning, Lord!” And his day was filled with positivity and joy. Both boys used the same words, but in a different order, with predictable results determined by their attitudes.

Choose positive!

No matter what your day is filled with, you can control your attitude.

“This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

Therefore

“My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.” (Psalm 71:8)

Prayers to start each day

“So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.” (Psalm 99:12)

“Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.” (Psalm 25:5)
