Episode notes
Start Devotions Early To Set The Day
- Do devotions early in the morning so Scripture and prayer set the day's tone before reactive distractions arrive.
- James Dolezal recommends rising early enough to let Scripture 'call the tune' for the day rather than responding to phones or news.
Have A Short Wakeup Scripture Prayer
- Begin the day with a short Scripture-based prayer or verse in your heart before reading to orient your mind toward God.
- James Dolezal suggests simple waking prayers like thanking God for watching over you during the night.
Schedule Devotions As A Nonnegotiable Habit
- Plan and make devotions a non-negotiable part of your routine; treat it like any other habit that needs scheduling.
- Jonathan Master emphasizes deliberate planning because desire alone won't make the habit stick.
