I recently have been learning, the kindness of God leads me to repentance. I need to be aware of my sinful thoughts and repent. When I do, God shows me the way He wants me to believe and think. John Piper wrote this morning prayer, which I believe is a good one to start the day with.
O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for you and watch” (Psalm 5:3).
John Piper described this verse this way
“Let the first thing out of your mouth in the morning, while you are still on your pillow, be a cry to God: “I love you, Lord. I need you, Lord. Help me, Lord.” That is the first cry out of my mouth in the morning: “I need you again today.” Then, prepare a sacrifice and watch. I think that sacrifice is my body and my attention devoted to him.”
