Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
(Proverbs 3:5–6)
How often do we begin our day wrapped up in commitments, worries, and tasks—without even taking a moment to acknowledge God?
The busyness of life can easily distract us from what truly matters: God’s presence in our lives. But when we choose to include God in our day, we experience a peace that surpasses all understanding and the assurance that we are never alone.
Including God in your day doesn’t have to be complicated. You can start with a simple prayer as soon as you wake up—thanking Him for the gift of life and asking for wisdom to face the day ahead.
Reading a short passage of Scripture or meditating on a verse is also a powerful way to align your heart with the will of the Lord.
Throughout the day, remember to talk to God. It doesn’t matter where you are or what you’re doing—God is always ready to listen. It might be a moment of gratitude in the middle of your work, a silent cry during a difficult time, or even a quick prayer for someone you passed on the street.
Acknowledging God in all your ways is an invitation for Him to direct your path. When we place our worries, plans, and decisions in His hands, we can rest in the confidence that He is in control.
Choose today to live with God by your side.
Include Him in your actions, your words, and your thoughts—and you’ll begin to see even the simplest moments become opportunities to grow in faith and reflect His love to the world.
Remember: a day with God is never a wasted day—it’s a day full of purpose and grace.
