Start each day with a smile using the faith-filled Scripture, prayers, and readings in this uplifting devotional from Lakewood Church´s Joel and Victoria Osteen.
How you start the day often determines what kind of day you´re going to have. When you wake up in the morning, it´s easy to lie in bed thinking negative thoughts. You don´t realize it, but that´s setting the tone for a lousy day.
In this devotional, Joel and Victoria Osteen offer an inspiring tool to help you set your mind for a positive, happy, faith-filled day. You will read Scripture, reflect on a daily reading, pray a special prayer, and meditate on a thought for the day --all with a goal to starting the day off grateful, thinking about God´s goodness, expecting His favor, and setting the tone for a blessed, productive day. Just a few minutes each morning can make a big difference. When you wake up to hope, you´ll not only have a better attitude but you´ll see more of God´s blessings and favor.
