For the past few months, when I wake up in the morning I say to myself "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24). In the last few days the Lord has directed me to some other scripture that I am trying to add into my morning prayer.
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." (Lamentations 3:22-24)
"Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere." (Psalm 84:10)
"For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night; but rejoicing comes in the morning." (Psalm 30:5)
These verses have been such a help to me in the morning. They immediately focus my attention on Jesus. He is my portion. The day is His. He gives me joy and helps me rejoice. I want to spend the day living in His presence.
