Before the world gets your attention, give your heart to the One who made it.

There was a time I used to wake up and reach for my phone.
Scroll. React. Check. Absorb.
Before my feet even hit the floor, I was already behind — behind on emails, behind on news, behind on life.

But God gently showed me: That is not how My daughters begin their days.

And so I changed everything.
Now, before the noise and the notifications… I start with God.
No phone. No pressure. Just peace.

This, my love, is spiritual self-care in its purest form: giving God the first fruits of your attention, your energy, and your heart before the world even knows you’re awake.

Why It Matters

When you begin your day with your phone, you start in reaction mode.

You’re pulled into other people’s plans, problems, and expectations. You scroll through comparison, fear, and distraction…before you’ve even had a chance to breathe.

But when you start with God, everything changes.

You start in identity mode.
Rooted. Grounded.
You remember who you are, Whose you are, and why you’re here.

What It Looks Like

Here’s what “Start with God” can look like — no shame, no rules, just rhythm:

• Before opening your phone, open your eyes and say, “Good morning, Lord.”

• Breathe deeply and thank Him for waking you up.

• Speak a simple prayer — before you scroll, before you plan.

• Sit with your Bible, devotional, or in stillness — even if it’s just 5 minutes.

• Listen — for wisdom, for peace, for guidance.

This is your sacred space. It doesn’t have to be fancy — it just has to be first.

What I’ve Learned

Since starting this practice, I no longer begin my day in pieces.
I begin it in peace.

I’ve learned that spiritual self-care isn’t about perfection. It’s not about long devotionals or performative quiet time. It’s about priority.

It’s about making God your first — not your afterthought.

Because when God is your first input, the world no longer gets to be your loudest voice.

A Simple Invitation

If you’ve been feeling anxious, scattered, or disconnected, I invite you to try this:

Start tomorrow with God. Not your phone.
Before the texts, the news, the demands…
Just sit with Him. Even if it’s only for a minute.

Whisper a prayer. Read a verse. Breathe.
Let that be your offering. Your alignment. Your reset.

My Favorite Way to Begin

Here’s what I often say in the morning:

“God, I give You this day.
I give You my thoughts, my words, my emotions, and my energy.
Guide me. Speak to me. Keep me centered in You.”

Then I stay quiet… and listen.

That’s it. That’s the whole sacred practice.
It doesn’t take a lot of time — it just takes intention.

A Blessing for You

If no one’s told you today:
You deserve to begin your day in peace.
You are allowed to protect your mornings.
You are not behind — you are being called back to what grounds you.

I’m The Virtual Godmother, and this is your gentle reminder:
Start with God. Not your phone.
He’s already waiting — before the world comes calling.
