The Daily CHEW™
Chew on God’s Love. Live Transformed. Multiply Hope.
Yesterday, at 3:10 AM, I woke up with a familiar question swirling: “Will today actually have impact?”
Most days, I want my work, words, and care to matter—and when it feels like the needle isn’t moving, disappointment stings.
Maybe you wake up with your own version of that ache. Maybe your thoughts race ahead to the meetings, the kids, the unending list—or to some challenge you wish you could solve, fix, or help. Maybe you know exactly what it’s like to hope for significance, only to meet ordinary, unimpressive reality.
What I’ve learned is this: when I let that longing or letdown run the show, my heart drifts from God’s love and into self-reliance—or discouragement. But I’ve also learned there’s a better way—a reset that anchors us in love, not outcomes.
That’s where the Morning Anchor CHEW comes in. It’s how I—and now many others—have been learning to return to God’s love, right in the mess or the rush, and let Him reset what matters most.
Try the Morning Anchor CHEW — (3-7 Minutes, or Less)
1. Take Three Deep Breaths.
Remind yourself: God loves me, right now, before I do a thing.
2. Adore:
“Father, You are totally powerful and in control. You hold everything together.”
3. Confess:
- What am I actually feeling as I start this day? (Hopeful, rushed, disappointed, hungry for meaning?)
- What’s driving me right now? (Desire for real impact? Fears? Old stories?)
4. Hear:
- “Father, what do I need to hear from You this morning?”
- (Choose one Gospel promise that speaks directly to what you just confessed, or browse these targeted categories to find the biblical truth your heart most needs right now.)
- Lamentations 3:22–23 — His love and mercies are new every morning.
- Romans 8:1 — There is no condemnation.
- Isaiah 43:4 — You are precious in His sight.
5. Exchange:
- “If I truly believed Your love is enough, how would it shift my heart—even if results are hidden?”
- I would exchange ______ for ______ (e.g., pressure for trust, disappointment for hope, striving for rest).
6. Walk & Launch:
- What’s one small act today I’ll do from this place?
- “Holy Spirit, let my next step show Your love matters most.”
7. Thanksgiving & Adoration:
- Thank Him
- Worship Him- Focus on Him not what He does for you
Even if you feel nothing, every honest try is a win. God’s love is true, let that be your anchor.
