Before your feet hit the floor tomorrow...

Hello friend.

There’s a tiny gap every morning that most of us never notice. It sits somewhere between your eyes opening and your feet touching the floor. Two seconds, maybe thirty. And in that gap, something always speaks first.

Sometimes it’s the radio. Sometimes it’s the to-do list already queuing up in your head. Sometimes it’s that quiet, tired thought that just whispers, “here we go again.”

I’ve been sitting with an old line from the Bible this week, and I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s Psalm 143:8, and David prayed it on one of his lowest days.

“Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you.”

That’s it. One honest sentence, prayed into the dark.

Here’s what I love about it. David isn’t pretending he feels great. He’s not propped up on cushions with a cup of tea. He’s hiding, worn out, heart troubled. And yet his morning prayer isn’t a long speech. It’s a whisper. A single line, asking to be reminded that he is loved.

You don’t need to feel it to pray it. You just need to say it.

So tomorrow morning, before your feet hit the floor, try one sentence. Whispered if that’s all you’ve got. Something like, “Lord, let me hear of your unfailing love today. I’m trusting you.”

Then get up, and watch what happens to the day around it.

I’ve made a short 5-minute video unpacking this, with three gentle thoughts and a practical next step. If you’d like to sit with it over your coffee this morning, here it is:

Grace and peace.
