Morning devotions

In the morning when the alarm is ringing,
I open three things;
My eyes,
My Bible,
My heart.

I turn off three things;
My phone,
The sounds of my thoughts,
The noise of the world.

I turn on three things;
The lamp on my desk,
The desire for Your Word,
The fire of prayer.

I ask You three things;
Your presence,
Your mercy,
The treasures of Your Word.

Precious Jesus,
In this sweet hour spend with You,
My mind is renewed,
My soul is healed,
My heart is filled.
