Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “first thing.” Start your post with the words, “first thing” and go from there. Bonus points if you end your post with the last thing. Have fun!
First thing in the morning with my coffee in hand I head to the couch where there I begin my day with prayer.
I have to go to God before I enter into my day. It is my morning quiet time with God. It is where my heart, and spirit sync up with God’s will for my day. I usually begin by thanking God for another day. For we are never promised our tomorrow. I always thank Him for another day of sobriety.
My husband, and I as well read together. Then we pray together as well. We lift up family, friends, anyone who has asked us to pray for them. This has been every morning of our marriage. It doesn’t matter if we are on vacation, or we are just hanging around the house. 7 days a week I start my day with prayer, and reading.
“Thy will not mine be done”. That is that last thing I always say. Then I can feel confident in God to begin my day His way.

Weirds Are Word 
I almost missed the comments section. I identify so much. My husband and I also read some scripture in the mornings and pray for our family and other matters. What a great way to start the day. You must have a happy marriage.

It helps keep us grounded for sure. Life happens, but so quickly recognize when we are falling into self. We stop, again turn it over to God. We pray multiple times a day until we hit the pillow. It is that daily reprieve, and the ability to know when we need God’s peace. I can’t imagine not having God to begin my day with, especially with the way the world is today ❣️🙏🏻

It the one thing I prayed for in a man. A man after God’s own heart. God answered that prayer! ❣️
