My purpose is to start my day calm and peaceful and energized, instead of a mad rush which puts me in an instant irritable mood.

That’s my reason, too!

I want to be able to enjoy homeschooling and spending time with my son. I want to stop being so cranky and irritable!

I have two purposes. One is to grow in wisdom so I know how to evangelize and then disciple my 2-month-old son to love the Lord with all his heart and mind. The second is to increase my faith and trust in God. My husband lost his job two weeks after our son was born, and he hasn’t had any calls for interviews yet. I want to get to the point where scripture is flowing through my mind constantly and I never have any doubts of God’s provision.

Ha! I didn’t realize I commented on this previously. That goal still remains, with the added bonus of the above.

I have several reasons. One is just get alone with God (obviously), but also, it takes me forever to wake up and be functional in the morning. Getting up early really helps me be ready for my kids when they wake up. Rather than being groggy for two hours and dragging my feet.
I notice a 300% difference in my day when I can actually get up early. Tomorrow, I begin again.

Thank you for this inspiring post! It was just what I needed to hear today. My purpose for waking up early tomorrow morning is to spend some much needed time with the Lord to restore a renewed passion for Him in my life… which will spill over into being more kind and refreshed in my roles as wife and mother. I also need a few minutes of “me” time (my 9 week old), and my only options are early morning or late night.

I want to fill myself so full of God and His amazing grace and goodness to me, that it flows over into every aspect of my life – that the life I live is a light to those around me. First and foremost my husband and children, my family, my friends, my church and the world around me.

My goal is to be the mother my daughter need and the wife my husband needs. I have a wonderful daughter and husband, but it seems like when I don’t get that time in the morning or sometime throughout the day to spend with God, they both become a disturbance and almost a bother to me. I hate feeling that way because I am going through the motions and not serving them as I truly want to. When I have been with my Lord, He renews my vision, and I need that daily! In order to meet those two goals, I must meet the one of spending time with God in the morning and letting the mind of Christ be in me.

Thank you for this.

My goal is to have a [new] passion for God. To not lose my first love. Everything else will flow from that: patience, joy, healing, freedom, etc.

I really loved what you said here:
“She had a purpose that was greater than her comfort.”

which goes along with something my pastor said:
“A comfortable life could never comfort your soul.”

There is much to pray on!
