Meeting with God in the early morning hours can be a transformative experience. It requires discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance to get out of bed when you would rather stay under the covers. But the reward of spending quality time with God and identifying His voice can be life-changing. In the quiet stillness of the morning, we can hear God speak to us in ways that are often drowned out by the noise of daily life. We can find comfort, guidance, and a sense of peace that can sustain us throughout the day.

However, meeting with God in the morning is not the only way to connect with Him. Sometimes, we need to intentionally take a walk away from life's responsibilities to wrestle with our emotions and release them to God. In these moments, we can pour out our hearts to Him, sharing our joys, sorrows, and struggles. As we walk, we can listen for His voice and feel His presence with us. Walking in nature can be especially powerful, as we are surrounded by God's creation and can witness His majesty and power firsthand. Whether we meet with God in the morning or in the evening, we can find comfort and strength in His presence. That’s a promise.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." This verse is a reminder that God is always with us, no matter where we go or what challenges we face. We can take comfort in knowing that we are not alone and that God will show up for us in our times of need. This promise can give us the strength and courage to face whatever comes our way, knowing that God is by our side.
