Sitting With God Before the World Wakes Up
It’s 7:00 AM on a Saturday morning. I’ve been awake since about 6:00 AM, thinking, praying, and talking with the Lord. The house is quiet, the world is still, and there’s something sacred about this moment. December 20. Before the noise, before the demands, before the distractions, I’m sitting with God.
There’s a lot on my heart.
As 2026 approaches faster than we realize, I feel a deep stirring in my spirit. Not fear, not pressure, but responsibility. A holy awareness that my time, my obedience, and my yes matters. I don’t just want to enter 2026. I want to walk into it boldly, unapologetically, and equipped.
This morning isn’t about productivity. It’s about positioning. Positioning my heart, my obedience, and my life where God can lead me clearly. Scripture reminds us, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). Stillness creates clarity, and clarity births direction. I don’t want to drift into another year. I want to be intentional with God, intentional with my time on earth, and intentional with the work He’s calling me to do.
There is something powerful about writing. God didn’t tell us to think the vision, He told us to write it. “Write the vision and make it plain, so that he may run who reads it” (Habakkuk 2:2). Writing slows us down long enough to hear God clearly. Journaling gives shape to what has been stirring quietly in our spirit. As I write, I find myself asking honest questions. Where is God leading me next? Who am I being called to serve? What must I release to make room for what’s coming? How can my obedience bless not just me, but others?
Time is sacred, and stewardship matters. “So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12). I don’t want to waste days scrolling past my purpose or busying myself away from God’s plan. I want my work, my creations, my obedience, and my journaling to align with heaven. This season isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what matters most.
Yes, I want to create. Yes, I want to build. Yes, I want to impact lives. But above all, I want what I create to be God-breathed. “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established” (Proverbs 16:3). Every journal, every word, every product, every idea, I want it to point someone back to God. To healing, to clarity, to hope. This is bigger than business. This is about legacy.
If you’re reading this and you feel that same stirring, pause for a moment. Ask God to help you not rush into what’s next without Him. Ask Him to teach you to sit, to listen, to write, and to obey. Ask Him to order your steps, clarify your vision, and align your heart with His will as you prepare for the next season.
This early morning moment matters to me. This stillness matters. This obedience matters. And if you’re feeling the pull to slow down, to write, to pray, to plan, and to prepare, know that it’s not by accident. God is speaking. The question is, are we willing to listen and then write?
