Help! I can't find morning devotional time!
Makeover your home management skills and mindset: https://simplyconvivial.com/membershipWhen we want to be sure we’re spending time in the Word and starting our day with prayer, we very easily slip into idealistic vision-chasing.We imagine our morning devotions shouldbe the very first thing we do in the morningbe done before the kids are awaketake at least thirty minutes, but maybe sixtyinclude a stack of booksbe comfy-cozy with warm light, a hot beverage, and earth tone midliners and a gentle candle flickeringSo then when our mornings begin by being tossed from bed by a crying infant, when we don’t have ten minutes together without being interrupted, when we never make it to our candle-lit reading corner, we wind up never actually beginning the day with prayer and Scripture.But it doesn’t have to be that way. We don’t need to have the perfect setting before we can fly to the Lord for daily sustenance. Such desperate, mid-action flight is more biblical than a cozy morning corner with scented candles, too.
