My first minutes belong to God, not my phone.

A Bible affirmation for your morning, rooted in Mark 1:35.

Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and went out to a solitary place to pray.

Mark 1:35 · BSB

Reflection

The night before, the whole town had gathered at the door and Jesus healed many. Early the next morning, while it was still dark, He slipped away to pray. If Jesus needed quiet before a busy day, so do you.

A prayer

Father, I give You my first thoughts today, before hurry and distraction get them.
