Dear Beautiful Soul,

How you begin your morning shapes the rhythm of your entire day. In a world that rushes us from the moment we wake, finding a peaceful, sacred start isn’t just a luxury — it’s an act of intentional living.

When we rise and invite God into our first moments, we anchor our day in His truth rather than in the demands of the world. Peace isn’t found in checking our phones, rushing through breakfast, or mentally running through a to-do list before our feet hit the floor. Peace is found in the quiet surrender of the morning — the stillness where we hear His voice.

“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.” — Psalm 143:8

Here are three ways to create a sacred morning routine that refreshes your body and spirit:

1. Begin with Gratitude and Prayer

Before you get out of bed, take a deep breath and thank God for the gift of a new day. Pray for guidance, strength, and opportunities to reflect His light. This simple practice shifts your focus from stress to blessing.

2. Create a Morning Sanctuary

Light a candle, play soft worship music, or open the windows to let in the morning air. As you prepare for the day — whether applying your favorite lotion or sipping tea — let each moment be intentional, slow, and rooted in peace.

3. Speak Scripture Over Your Day

Choose a Bible verse to carry with you. Write it down, keep it in your pocket, or set it as your phone background. Let it become your anchor when challenges arise.

The more we protect our mornings, the more strength, joy, and grace we carry into every moment that follows.

My prayer for you today: May your mornings bloom with stillness, may your heart awaken to God’s whisper, and may peace be the first and last word you speak over your day.

With love and light, Kristine Hawkins
