Short Inspirational Bible Verses About Christian Living

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.

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?

    1. 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.
