Some mornings faith feels close; other days it feels far. If you need simple words to bring your heart back to God before the day gets loud, start here. These lines are short on purpose—easy to whisper over coffee, on a commute, or in the hallway between meetings.
Pick two or three for today. Say them slowly. Let your shoulders drop, breathe a little deeper, and notice how a few honest sentences steady your thoughts. Return whenever worry spikes, gratitude swells, or you just need to feel near to God again.
