Begin the Day with Gratitude
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.—James 1:17 (NIV)
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.—Psalm 37:7 (NIV)
If you want to make a big change in your life, practice daily quiet time. Turn off your phone and any distractions and let go of any worries, to-dos, and responsibilities. For five full minutes get in harmony with your surroundings. Listen for God. Draw upon His instruction.
Heavenly Father, help me to remember the importance of quieting my mind so that I can hear You.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.—2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)
