Morning breaks and the routine begins. Sip your cup of coffee and tune into “Good Morning America.” Both stimulate the body and mind in their own way and can become habit forming – a must before one can function.
I personally have not adopted this habit but, really, I could say I have … a cup and a connection. My cup of coffee is symbolic, as I sit with Jesus and taste and absorb his goodness and wonders. I routinely but purposely sit in my sacred space, away from the tube world of distractions, tuning in to an unseen world of “Good Morning Jesus” – my soul’s connection with the presence of God. The living Word stimulates my day, inspiring me to heart listen, carrying me into whatever may be. This routine is a must before I can begin to function.

Yes, this prayer routine has become a habit but I know when I skip it, it feels empty. So each morning I take up this cup and carry it – knowing it will never be empty – and tune into “Good Morning Jesus.”
And I am energized.
