- What do you wake up to each day? What do you discover once your eyes have opened and you put your feet to the floor? A mountain of notifications? An endless feed of headlines that make you angry? A flood of tasks that you can’t possibly get done in the next twenty-four hours?
What if you could wake up each day to discover something so much bigger-and so much better for you-than all that chaos? What if you could discover God? What if you could discover yourself in light of that God? What if your eyes could be opened to the things that really mattered? What if, in one simple devotional a day, you could glean principles from timeless wisdom to sharpen you for each day's inevitable challenges?
In her lyrical, compelling, and poignant voice, bestselling author and Bible teacher Jackie Hill Perry offers sixty short, daily reflections on specific passages from Scripture to help you awaken to the God you were made for, the life you were made for, and the person you were made to be.

I love this. I read my Bible every morning & pray and when I don't do that and allow things that can wait until I'm finished distract me it throws me off. Regardless of whatever God is always the center of my life so how can I forget about him when he chooses to let me wake up everyday ❤❤❤
Same here
Amen
Amen!!!! ❤
❤The first thing I do when I wake up is say good morning Lord and I just start talking to Him and praising Him through song. When I am not speaking to Him verbally I am thinking of Him ALL the time. I can't get Him out of my head and I don't want to. I used to go to a therapist. But Jesus delivered me from depression, anxiety, from being a lukewarm Christian, several attempts and the list goes on and on. Thank You Jesus!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wake up for my appointment time with Jesus. He has so much to say. I journal what He says. I encourage anyone reading this that you can experience the presence of the Lord when you come as a willing student to learn from the greatest teacher! He has so much to say to you!!!!
Can you list ways you do this ?? I’m trying to learn to do this more
Yesss sooo much to say. I call it quiet time. The same way Jesus often withdrew we must too. In this time I go to him with Thanksgiving & repent & I don't ask for anything. I then read the word & worship, then I sit in silence & try to stop all the distractions & demonic chatter that may be going on in my head. That's when I sit & listen with journal in hand & I wait for Him to tell me what's on His heart what He & Holy spirit wants me to know. When you say He has so much to say & download into us it's almost an understatement lol The fresh Revelations & words He has to say is so powerful & filling that I can't keep up with writing it all down! It's amazing it really is. The hard part is sitting in complete silence but after you get that overtime it's so good. I divide those things up in an hour just so that I can know what He's instructing me & others to do.
@SimplyEllaa I call it quiet time. The same way Jesus often withdrew we must too. In this time I go to him with Thanksgiving & repent & I don't ask for anything (prayer). I then read (the word) & do praise & worship, then I sit in silence & try to stop all the distractions & demonic chatter that may be going on in my head.

The first few words spoken here is convicting already (yep! 🙋🏽♀️) I repent
So here's about me when i wake up i purposely made a habit of saying 3 prayers at morning no matter what time i wake up. A prayer for anxiety, morning Thanksgiving and for Living righteously. Sometimes i read God's word from amplified bible and start my day. It's been 1 week or so and I'm already feeling peace from inside.
When I wake up, I try to always think of God and then say..."I am thankful before you Living and Enduring King, for You have mercifully restored my soul within me. Great is Your faithfulness!"
Yes!! I learned this from The Chosen. It's a short but beautiful prayer of gratefulness ❤
@@ms.g4197 That's exactly where I learned it!😇
I wake up talking to Jesus and go to sleep talking to Jesus. Sometimes, he wakes me in the middle of the night with a mission. ❤
This woman has been giving me Gods word daily!!She’s literally giving a message on every thought that I have! Since I have walked stronger in the faith, I am on Fire for Christ!! I am still learning but I pray God give me the strength to endure!!
Yes, I must read my bible and pray before I start my day... It's the ONLY way to wake up!!! Thank You for this!
Please pray for me, I've been overwhelmed with heavy sleep in the morning and sometimes during the day, which affects my prayer life. Please saints🙏🏽
❤❤❤
Right on time.
Lol. I was laying in bed scrolling after hitting the alarm on my phone, feeling convicted, when this popped up!
We all get offers constantly for "stuff" to order, but this.... This I can't wait to order.
Thanks Jackie!
Father God, my strength is gone. After suffering a heart attack two years ago and battling lupus I feel weak. Please give me strength. I will always keep faith and I trust in you. Even as I constantly struggle to provide groceries for my children I trust in you Heavenly Father. Walking with faith is all we can do as christian’s. Like most single mothers things are hard on me.Both of my sons are autistic, it’s a lot on me. I’m constantly struggling to pay rent. I’m overwhelmed and now that I’m home schooling my sons I’m having trouble getting school supplies. Heavenly and merciful Father, I come before your glorious throne today, in humble adoration please help me overcome my struggles and my constant fears. Amen!
❤❤❤
praying for you
Amen. Praying for your strength in the Lord & all your needs are met daily. 🙏
I will definitely be adding this to my read. Sometimes it can be a struggle. Pray this is an additional Encouragement to a better commitment . Thank you
"But Jesus is the bread".....I completely love what you did there.
You are so poetic 🙏🏾💯☝🏾☝🏾🎶🎵💥💥
When I homeschooled my kids we started our days with ‘Bible Time’. I’m so glad. I would read to them from the Bible and various books and we discussed what we read. They worked on art projects/cards, etc. while I read. Now I still have my ‘Bible Time’, and God helps set my mind and heart for the day. This sounds like a good devotional, Jackie ❤
Good morning beautiful. When I wake up the Lord is in my thoughts and I'm thanking him for today. I go straight into the word so I'm able to deal with the craziness.😇💜🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I say thank you, Lord, for waking me up and begin to keep thinking on Him and start prayer or just thanking Him and begin reading the Word. I have been trying to be intentional about it every day, but every now and again, I slip. Very first thing I say is thank you, though. That's a bare minimum. I try to get focused on Him first thought every day.
Yesss! My mouth is a huge problem and after I thank God .. that another day is here.. I pray for Him to shut my mouth when nesssary! Funny maybe but I’m seriously having that issue
Omg! This was so on point for me. I don't always know what to say or read in the Bible when I wake up so I just say "thank you Lord for waking me up this morning" which seems so cliché, but I really mean it. Imma pre-order the book and pray it leads me to a better relationship first thing in the morning before I make my coffee and go about my day.😇
I ordered it and I can’t wait to start reading it. I start my mornings with the You Version Bible and I know that your devotional will be like the icing of top of my start of the day 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 THANK YOU
When I wake up, most times I start rebuking/rejecting negative dreams and praying. Never knew I was supposed to do that , until some teachings I received. So the the devil was having field years with me, because of the lack of knowledge. Praise God for knowledge...wisdom.
This is awesome! I was convicted of this a few years ago... I put social media first over seeking first His kingdom and righteousness. Sounds like an exciting book! I loved what you said, "This is an appetizer. This is guacamole and chips, but Jesus is the bread." Hilarious and brilliantly stated. 😂🥑 🥖✨
I love you, Jackie! It's the bye, for me😊
I’m craving this Book and Mexican cuisine. Thank you Lord 🙏🏾
I roll over, press snooze at least 5x, finally get up and go to the bathroom to rush and get ready for work because I am running late. I definitely need a better routine.
Lord willing I’m definitely getting and I know that’s part of why God had me lay down social media at the Throne and rest! ✨
Praise and worship music first thing, prayer, then the word for me. Preordering now. Thanks so much!
Can't wait! 😊
No way! I was literally praying for something like this today! God knew. I’m ordering right now. Thank you for your obedience.
Convicted!!! I work overnight so it’s a little different for me but I’ve been out of work for two weeks now and I haven’t been seeking the Lord first! Forgive us Jesus. Help to seek you first!!
🙏❤
i love the heart behind this. this is absolutely beautiful, and the artwork on the outside is as well.
It’s an item on my list, to seek the Lord 1st thing. But I swore it to be a longing of my heart to never be separated, and do it from a hearts place rather than a head/goal place. It’s real so I know it will be so.
I do exactly that!!! I start with God!! Awesome of you to help and provide a tool to help people transition into making Him first!!!
Thank you for the reminder ❤
Convicted 😢, this is so true!!
I pray and thank God 1st. I glorify His name, and them I read the Word of God.
AMEN I agree
Yes, Jesus first.
Not me having conversations with the Lord about how he wants me to read my Bible more and not get on my phone first thing. I hear you Lord. 😊
Ordered!
Pray and read the word first always. You have to become disciplined and make time for him. Plan and prepare.
Thank you sister! Love your heart!
Agree totally and I’m working on this area in my daily walk. I’ve shared this video with my village and beyond the circle! Can’t want to get my journal!

Good afternoon! I’m a forensics and debate student and ran across your poetry piece Deadbeat a Conversation With My Father. I fell in love with your piece and I wanted to know if I have your permission to preform with it in my forensics poetry event?
Where can we sow into your ministry ? I’ve been searching hi and low and I don’t see it anywhere
@dave
