The amazing commitment of praying first thing in the morning carries astounding benefits in the life of the believer. Prayers of intercession for others, as well as the self, said on a regular basis, especially in praise of God for His Lovingkindness each and every morning can radically intensify your relationship with God.

 

This increase of joy God showers over us can continue on throughout the day; providing we keep with that supernatural connection, like a little slice of Heaven on earth.

 

You may even get to see amazing improvements in your life, but don't do it for that reason! Do it to praise God and thank Him for His Amazing Gifts and Blessings and for the joy you get to keep you warm and comfortable, even as the world spirals out of control.....

 

Another amazing benefit I simply must tell you from experience is that this practice will help you see yourself in a special new way; lowly and meek, yet more mighty, secure and strong than even in your youth. 

 

Spending time with God is especially rewarding when done first thing in the morning, because God gets the firstfruits of all our labor, as is our reasonable service and the best way to start our day.

 

Most certainly, spending regular, quality time with God in prayer first thing every morning opens the floodgates for God's supernatural joy to pour in; providing believers a little slice of Heaven they can carry with them all day long, each and every day, which surely brightens everyday life!
