Have you ever woken up already feeling behind… already carrying the weight of the day before your feet even hit the floor? Maybe your mornings feel rushed, chaotic, or even a little heavy. Or maybe you’ve wondered if you’re “doing it wrong” because your mornings don’t look like the picture-perfect routines we often see online. If that’s you, I think this week’s episode ofThe Love Offering Podcast will feel like a breath of fresh air.

I had the joy of talking with Jennifer Dukes Lee about her new book,How to Love Your Morning, and our conversation was both practical and deeply encouraging.

Jennifer reminded us that being a “morning person” isn’t about waking up at a certain time or having a perfect routine—it’s about how we begin and who we begin with.

We talked about:
Why mornings matter so much in Scripture (and how they’re woven throughout God’s story)
Letting go of pressure, comparison, and unrealistic expectations
How your personality and season of life shape your morning rhythm
Simple, grace-filled ways to meet with God—even on the busiest days

One of my favorite reminders from our conversation was this: you don’t need a perfect morning to meet with God. Even a whispered, “Lord, help me,” is enough.

Because the truth is—every morning is an invitation.

An invitation to receive God’s mercy again.

An invitation to begin again.

An invitation to trust that He is already with you in whatever the day holds.

Scripture tells us: “His mercies are new every morning.” So today or tomorrow, before you reach for your phone or rush into your to-do list, what if you simply pause and met Him there? I’m praying this conversation encourages you to start your day with a little more grace, a little more peace, and a whole lot more awareness of God’s presence.
