Monday morning. It\u2019s one of my favorite times of the week. Crazy, maybe\u2026but I love fresh starts and new beginnings. Some mornings, a sweet old song pops into my head with the same affect as that first cup of coffee. It\u2019s a Beautiful Morning<\/a><\/em> \u2013 that oldie by The Rascals (1968, I know,\u00a0really old). That gets me going. What keeps us going on a Monday morning (o.k. along with coffee) are the promises of God.<\/p>\n

[Now, if God’s promises don’t resonate with you at the moment, see the links at the end of this post, for helps on what’s happening with Monday Blues and how you can take steps to feel better.]<\/p>\n

Here are 5 verses that are a quick read to help you get out of bed and get going. Remember, God\u2019s got you and God’s got this.<\/p>\n

In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there. \u2013 Mark 1:35<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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. \u2013 Psalm 143:8<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The steadfast love of the Lord<\/span> never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness<\/em>.\u00a0 \u2013 Lamentations 3:22-23<\/a><\/strong>\"Blog<\/a><\/p>\n

Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy name. <\/em>For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.<\/em> \u2013 Psalm 30:4-5<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Satisfy us in the morning with Your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. <\/em>\u2013 Psalm90:14<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you are a morning person, or it\u2019s a resounding snooze alarm on repeat, or no more vacation days that drag you out of bed this morning, remember you have a God who loves you\u00a0and is with you all the way.\"Blog<\/a><\/p>\n
