The 6:37 AM Wake-Up Call
It happened again this morning.
I woke up, grabbed my phone to "check something quickly," and suddenly it was 6:37 AM. Thirty-seven minutes of scrolling and no prayer time.
Sound familiar? (Hopefully, it's not just me!)
You meant to spend time with God. You even set your alarm early. But somehow, your phone won that battle... again.
Scroll or Seeking?
Here's what's actually happening when we choose scrolling over seeking God:
- We're trading what matters most for temporary dopamine hits
- We're showing what we truly value
- We're letting our spiritual lives run on empty
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33)
The hard truth? Your phone is discipling you. Every minute you give it is shaping your heart, your mind, and your spirit.
3 Ways To Get Your Morning Back
1. Create a Phone-Free Zone
- Buy a real alarm clock ($15 on Amazon)
- Put your phone in another room before bed
- Don't touch it until after your God time
🔑 Remove the temptation before the battle begins
2. Have A Dedicated Space
- Set up a dedicated prayer spot you love being at
- Keep your Bible, journal, and reading plan there so you don't have to find it or search for it
- Have a coffee/water waiting or pre-set before you get up
🔑 Environment shapes your behavior - built it on purpose to benefit you
3. Start Small But Strong
- Commit to just 10 minutes (or less - that's fine!)
- Use the 3-3-3 method:
- 3 minutes reading Scripture
- 3 minutes praying
- 3 minutes journaling
- Add 1 minute each week
🔑 Small wins build lasting habits
Your Next Move
Ask yourself: What would change in your life if you gave God your first 10 minutes every day?
Then take action: Buy the alarm clock. Pre-set your coffee. Start tomorrow.
