8 Simple Things to Add to Your Christian Morning Routine for More Peace and Purpose

If your mornings feel rushed, chaotic, or uninspired—it might be time to shift how you start your day. As Christian moms and women of faith, how we begin our mornings can set the tone for everything that follows. A morning routine rooted in God’s peace and purpose can make all the difference.

Here are 8 things I’ve added to my own routine that have brought more clarity, energy, and spiritual alignment into my day:

1. Gratitude & Prayer

Start your day by thanking God for a new beginning. A few minutes of prayer can calm your spirit and set your focus on what matters most.

2. Drink Water

Before coffee or tea, hydrate! It wakes up your body and signals that you're caring for God’s temple—yourself.

3. Stretch or Move Your Body

Movement releases stress, wakes up your muscles, and energizes your day. Whether it’s a walk, gentle yoga, or a quick dance session, move intentionally.

4. Worship Music

Play worship while getting ready to center your heart on God's presence. It can shift the atmosphere of your home.

5. A Cup of Tea (or Coffee!)

Sip something warm and comforting as you ease into the day.

6. Quiet Time with God

Whether through a devotional, journaling, or reading scripture—spend quality time in the Word. If you have more time, dive into the reflection questions and journal how God is speaking to you.

7. Nourish Your Body with Breakfast

Fuel your body with something healthy—it’s a form of self-care and stewardship.

8. Work on Your Purpose

Before the world demands your energy, give some of it to your God-given calling. For me, that means blogging and writing as an author. Even 15 minutes can make a difference.

My Morning Routine as a Christian Mom

I wake up one hour earlier than I need to so I can prioritize:

1. Time with God

2. Caring for my body

3. Working on my purpose

It’s not perfect every day—but it’s powerful.

Move with Purpose Monday Devotional (Day 19 from Purpose for Today)

Title: Make Room for More

Scripture: “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back…” — Isaiah 54:2 (NIV)

Devotion: Sometimes we pray for more, but we’re not making room to receive it. God is calling you to enlarge your capacity—to believe bigger, stretch your faith, and prepare for what He’s about to do.

Don’t limit yourself by small thinking. Make room in your life, in your schedule, and in your heart for the increase God wants to bring.

Prayer: Father God, I choose to believe bigger today. Stretch my faith and help me to make room for all You have planned for me. Remove anything in my life that limits what You want to do. I am ready and expectant for more. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Daily Declarations:

I am enlarging my capacity to receive more from God.

I believe bigger and expect God’s increase.

My heart and life are ready for all God has for me.

Action Steps:

• Identify areas where you’ve been playing small or limiting yourself.

• Make a list of practical ways to create space (time, energy, mindset).

• Declare Isaiah 54:2 over your life today.

  
  

Reflection Question: Where is God asking you to make room for more in your life?
