My Morning Devotional

Alison Elizabeth

Struggling to find time to get alone with God every morning? Trust me, you aren't the only one. My name is Alison Elizabeth and this is the My Morning Devotional Podcast. I set out to produce 5 minute daily devotionals I like to call a Daily Dose of Heaven! Tune in each weekday for a new bible verse, some devotional time, and of course a prayer. Thank you for joining me on this journey - I pray these devotionals empower you for the day ahead.

    Look Above

    Can you recognize the gifts in your life that could have only come from above?

    In today’s episode, Lauren Alessi invites us to pause and reflect on the extraordinary ways God orchestrates blessings, both big and small, that we may often take for granted. Together, we'll explore the story of how God brought two believers together against all odds and dive into the reminder from James 1:17 that every good and perfect gift is from above. As a community, we’ll discover how looking up in faith and gratitude opens our hearts to contentment and wonder, especially in moments when life feels unexpected or uncertain.

    We invite you to join us in prayer and devotion, lifting our eyes together in trust and thanksgiving for the miracles God is working in each of our lives.

    A Season for Everything

    Is it ever hard to simply enjoy the season you’re in?

    In this episode, host Lauren Alessi invites us to reflect on the wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:1 as we explore the idea that there is a time for everything and a season for every moment in our lives. Together, we’ll talk about what it looks like to rest in God’s blessings, rather than constantly looking ahead to what’s next. Lauren opens up about her personal journey with contentment, longing, and the gift of being present, especially as we celebrate Christmas Eve.

    Let’s come together as a community to pause, pray, and devote our hearts to recognizing God’s faithfulness in every season. Join us in making this holiday all about gratitude and drawing closer to Him.

    So Wrong, But So Right

    Why do seasons of waiting or unexpected detours often feel so wrong, even when we know we're following God's plan?

    In today's episode, host Stephanie Muiña invites us into her personal journey of house renovations and life's setbacks, sharing the wisdom she's gaining along the way. Together, we'll explore how God's timing can seem uncertain from our limited perspective, even as He is orchestrating every detail perfectly behind the scenes. Drawing from Proverbs 3:5-6, we'll reflect on what it means to trust in the Lord fully, leaning not on our own understanding. Even when things look messy, delayed, or "wrong" by our standards.

    Let’s join as a community in prayer and devotion, trusting that God’s path for us is always right, even in seasons of uncertainty.
