I have a prayer I say nearly every morning. As I’m getting out of bed, I ask the Lord to help me walk in a manner that’s worthy of the Gospel. I got the idea from Ephesians 4:1 where we are told to, “Walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, [and] eager to maintain…peace.” It describes exactly what my day should look like, filled with humility, gentleness and patience; filled with peace and a desire to show mercy and love to my husband and friends. So, if you are looking for a great way to rise and shine, memorize Ephesians 4:1 and offer it up as your morning prayer. Your day will be amazing as you live in a manner that truly reflects what you think of Jesus’ sacrifice for you.
