I read this the other day in the Jesus Calling Devotional and thought it was so good it was worth sharing.  Does praying and communicating with God make my day easier? Certainly not.  But it changes my perspective, and therefore how I react and handle my day.  

May 27

Seek My Face at the beginning of your day.  This practice enables you to “put Me on” and “wear Me” throughout the day.  Most people put on clothes soon after arising from bed. Similarly, the sooner you “put Me on” by communicating with Me, the better prepared you are for whatever comes your way.  

To “wear Me” is essentially to have My mind: to think My thoughts.  Ask the Holy Spirit to control your thinking; be transformed by this renewal within you.  Thus you are well equipped to face whatever people and situations I bring your way.  Clothing your mind in Me is your best preparations for each day.  This discipline brings Joy and Peace to you and those around you.
