Why I Take 3 Minutes Before Getting Out of Bed
Most mornings, it’s tempting to jump straight out of bed and rush into the day. There’s always something waiting messages, responsibilities, things to fix or figure out. I used to start my day already feeling behind.
Now, I do something simple.
Before I get out of bed, I pause for three minutes.

I lie still and take a deep breath. The first thing I do is thank God for waking me up. Sometimes I say a full prayer, other times it’s just, Thank You, Lord, for another day. Either way, I start by acknowledging Him.
Then I sit in the quiet for a moment. No phone. No scrolling. Just stillness. It helps calm my mind and reminds me that God is present before the noise of the day begins.
Finally, I commit the day to Him. I ask God to order my steps, guide my decisions, and give me grace for whatever lies ahead. I don’t try to control the day I surrender it.
The Bible says, In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly. That verse stays with me. It reminds me that God is already listening before I even get out of bed.
Those three minutes have changed how I start my day. I’m less anxious, less rushed, and more grounded in faith.
It’s such a small pause, but it makes room for God to lead the rest of my day.
