17 Encouraging Bible Verses to Start Your Day

These 17 printable Bible verses are a great way to start any day. Use them in your morning quiet time or anytime throughout the day to ground yourself in the uplifting messages from God's Word.

I almost always start the day with quiet time during which I read the Bible (I'm working through the One Year Chronological Bible right now and keeping pace with the new year so far.), pray using my prayer box (more on that in another post), and sometimes write in my journal (but not consistently).

Something I've added recently is meditating on a scripture. I love scripture, and I have a lot of favorite verses. When I say I meditate on it, I read it through three or four times and then think about it while I begin my day. I let it play like a song stuck in my head, trying out the words and stressing different ones and saying it to myself.

My internal monologue might sound something like this:

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I keep processing through the verse like this, repeating it to myself over and over and over with different emphasis until I know it backwards and forwards.

I repeat the verse to myself as I prepare my breakfast, as I eat, and as I clean up my dishes. I repeat the verse as I sit down in my office to begin my workday and then whenever it pops up in my brain throughout the day.

That's what I mean by meditating on it, just repeat it over and over again like a song on repeat.

I have chosen the scriptures below for a variety of reasons, but mostly because they are uplifting and encouraging and inspiring words from God that give me the right start to my day.
