Fear is a regular part of life. But God is there. If only we would let go and let God. If only we would let go of the anxiety and tension that come when we dwell on the troubles in our lives. Imagine them just slipping away when you hand your burdens off to Jesus.

Christian living is so much more than talking the talk. You’ve got to walk the walk so that through your actions others will know you love Jesus. These inspirational morning Bible verses are great reminders of the fruits that we should bear.
We must remember that our identity in Christ is what God says, not what we want. Oftentimes we want to twist God to go along with our plans instead of following God’s will for our lives. Our identity in God is that we are forgiven, loved, and called to witness. When we get our heart’s right, things go a whole lot easier.
James 1:5 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”
Galatians 5:22-23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”
Psalm 19:14 “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.”

1 Peter 4:8 “And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.”

Inspirational Bible Verses for the Morning to Remind You to Have Faith
Faith is something we talk about practically daily. We have it, we want it, but then it alludes us quite often. At any given time, we know we need more faith. But just James 1:5 tells us, we can ask for wisdom. But we can also ask the Lord to grow our faith too. Praying for more faith is actually a regular prayer of mine.
Ask, and ye shall receive. Never forget that. The caveat is that you receive when you have repented of your sin, you have a clean slate between you and God, and your prayer is within God’s will. That is the simple formula for answered prayers. Easy peasy right?
Matthew 21:22 “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.”
Romans 10:17 “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Matthew 17:20 “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Matthew 11:28 “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Hello… Can you share some motivation on concentration like how to concentrate in study or how to concentrate in our work.
Hi Soumya, concentration works better with something to focus on. In its simplest form, if you lose your focus in prayer or Bible study, train yourself to become aware of when you lose your focus. Catch yourself, and redirect. Repeat until you’ve trained your brain. Each person will have a different timeline for how long that will work. Also be sure to devote that time of day when your brain is most focused, most likely as you’re reading your good morning Bible verses 1st thing in the morning.
I want daily manner from you everyday to lift my spirit. Thanks for sharing
