🌅 Every Day Begins With God
Little Lamb woke up early, just as the sun began to rise.
He stretched his tiny legs, blinked his sleepy eyes, and whispered,
“Thank You, Lord, for a brand‑new day.”
Little Lamb didn’t know what the day would bring — sunshine
or clouds, playtime or chores — but he knew one thing for sure: every day is
better when he talks to Jesus first.
Just like the song says:
“Ev‑er‑ry day, when the sun arises,
Fill us with praise,
For Your love shines always.”
Little Lamb learned that prayer isn’t something big or
fancy.
It’s simply talking to God — in the morning, at sunset, and all the moments in
between.
🌇 When the Day Winds Down
As the sky turned orange and purple, Little Lamb watched the
sunset paint the hills.
He felt peaceful inside, because he remembered to pray again.
“Thank You, Lord, for being with me today.
Help me love You more tomorrow.”
And the gentle words of the song echoed in his heart:
“Ev‑er‑ry day, when sunset is painting,
Fill us each day
With Your loving ways.”
Little Lamb learned that prayer keeps his heart close to
Jesus — morning, noon, and night.
📖 Bible Verse for Little
Hearts
Psalm 55:17 (KJV)
“Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall
hear my voice.”
Little Lamb smiled when he heard this verse.
“Jesus hears me every time I pray,” he said.
“And that means I can talk to Him every day!”
🌼 A Simple Little Lamb
Prayer
“Dear Jesus,
Help me talk to You every day.
Fill my heart with Your love in the morning,
Guide my steps through the day,
And give me peace at night.
Thank You for hearing me.
Amen.”
