With the vacations over and the kids back at school, life is slowly returning to normal. However, for many parents getting back to the daily routine can be tricky. Quite honestly, after the chaos of summer, a nice relaxing holiday is really what’s in order!
As this is impossible, we need to find ways to motivate ourselves and find inspiration in our work, chores, and parenting. Thankfully, the Bible is full of a number of verses that can inspire us and fill us with enough energy to face the day.
Here are a few of our favorite verses that you could recite each day as you wake up — they could also work for the kids out there who are reluctant to leave their beds!
