When it comes to your time with Jesus, have you ever felt sluggish, dry, unmotivated? Like, despite your desire to have a full and rich morning with Jesus, your best friend and Savior, you just don’t have the willpower to make it happen? Then you feel guilty because you are neglecting Him. You feel despair at your lack of fulfillment in Him. Right? Well, consider your ways.

“You have sown much, and bring in little;

You eat, but do not have enough;

You drink, but...

We all face difficulty from time to time, so when we’re hard pressed, how can we be prepared to keep God Time in our routine?

Difficulty is part of life, and while some may seem to have it harder than others, if it feels hard for you, it’s a hard season. There are no qualifiers, comparisons, or disclaimers necessary. 

God Time doesn’t have to be in-depth Bible study. It can be simply reciting a verse and asking our Father to provide what we need today. We turn t...

Alarm goes off, I hit snooze once, twice, maybe even three times. I roll out of bed and pour a cup of coffee (Thank the Lord for the invention of delay set coffee pots! Am I right?) I plop down on the couch, tell Alexa to shuffle a worship playlist, and attempt to keep eyes open for the next 20-30 minutes, the time allotted to spend with Jesus. 

This sounds just like the wonderful God-center morning routine you hear so much about at Hello Mornings, doesn't i...

Two years ago we got a dog.  A dog is an adventure that we didn’t understand when we decided we needed one for our family. 

And need one we did.  Our son’s epilepsy caused us some anxiety, and we really wanted a dog who was created by God to be keenly aware of its surroundings.  Even without being a trained seizure God, Gypsy has given us a lot of peace of mind.  

Anyway, the reason for getting our dog is not the point. The fact of the matter is we got ...

It’d be hard to overstate the difference that 3 Minute Mornings have made in my life. It’s been years since I first came across Kat Lee’s revolutionary plan for getting out of bed and getting on with your day, and I’d be lying if I said my practice has been consistent the whole time. Between an expanding family, a couple of cross-country relocations, and a sprinkling of global pandemic, it certainly hasn’t. But glory to God, isn’t that one of the most beautifu...

If you use your phone as a part of your morning routine each day, it can be a major distraction. The siren call of the ever-present notifications from various apps can pull your attention away from your well-meaning use of the Bible app or music-streaming app you intended to use.

Depending on what distracts you most, we have some simple strategies to help keep technology in its place.

Tactic #1: Make your morning routine analog. Use a real Bible. Write down or print out...

You have the best of intentions. You’ve set your alarm for tomorrow with time for your morning routine, but when it goes off the next morning your old enemy the snooze button strikes again.

But the snooze button doesn't have to be your enemy. In fact you can use it to HELP you have your morning routine.

Wha???

It's true! Most snoozes are about 3-5 minutes - the PERFECT amount of time for your... 3-Minute Morning. Oh, yeah!

Just hit the snooze and snuggle under your covers while you pray Psa...

What is the 3 Minute Morning?

The 3 Minute Morning incorporates all 3 aspects of the HelloMornings "God+Plan+Move" concept. Everyone has 3 minutes every single morning of their lives. So this routine eliminates the feeling of “no time” - a common obstacle for not spending time with God, planning or making healthy choices.  

If we can create the truly daily habit of the 3 Minute Morning, we can then scale up each area as God leads us to grow. And when life hits us hard and we get sick or are ...
