Morning by Morning, July 13, 2026 — His Hand Reaching Out to My Heart Within
Good morning, Lord Jesus. As I begin my day, I speak out Your name and listen for Your leading (John 10:27). …
As I wait, I hear this in my spirit:
“I’m reaching out to You with My hand. Reach out to Me from Your heart.” …
Yes, Lord. I do choose, in this moment, to reach out to You from my heart. Consciously. Deliberately. Intentionally. Heart to Heart. Spirit to Spirit. Deep calling out to Deep.
As I do, as I respond to You, this Scripture comes to mind to confirm from Your written Word what I believe I’m hearing from Your spoken word:
“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord” (Jeremiah 29:12-14).
And this:
“Yes, in the way of Your judgments, O Lord, we have waited for You; The desire of our soul is for Your name And for the remembrance of You. With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early…” (Isaiah 26:8-9).
And finally this:
“O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You” (Psalm 63:1).
Early in the morning, here in these first moments of my day, I seek You, I reach out to You from my heart as You reach out to me by Your hand. I draw near to You because it’s in Your heart to draw near to me (James 4:8).
As I rise now and go about my day, let me never let go of You from my heart and You continue to take me by Your hand and lead in the way You have for me today. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged this day. In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
