Have you ever started a great habit with the best intentions, only to see it slip away after a few days?

In this episode, we’re diving into a simple but powerful way to build consistency in your time with God—through a structured morning routine that supports ‘The 5 Fives’ framework.

We’ll uncover the key obstacles that get in the way of daily devotion and share practical strategies to remove them. By setting up your space, preparing your heart, and creating intentional cues, you can start each day with focus, faith, and a deep connection to God.

 

In this episode, John discusses: 

  • The importance of morning preparation for spiritual consistency
  • How small daily habits create long-term spiritual growth
  • Practical ways to eliminate distractions from your devotional time
  • Aligning your schedule with God’s presence and purpose

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Setting up your Bible, pad and pen, and a designated space the night before eliminates decision fatigue in the morning, making it easier to begin your time with focus and intention.
  • Placing visual reminders, like simple sticky notes with reminder messages or repositioning your morning alarm, helps reinforce prioritizing God before distractions set in.
  • Ending each day with a simple prayer of gratitude and surrender not only strengthens your faith but also mentally and spiritually prepares you to stay committed to your morning devotion.
  • Rather than striving for a perfect routine, embracing even a few minutes of intentional time with God—whether reading scripture or praying on the go—ensures you stay spiritually focused and connected, even with a busy schedule.

 

This [The 5 Fives] is not about checking a box. It’s about just showing up to be with God, the one who loves you unconditionally and wants nothing more than you and your heart.”
