I get up in the morning, and I'm reluctant to turn on the television. This quote by Maya Angelou resonates with me a lot. By turning on the television, I am not sure what kind of news I'm going to come across and whether it's information that I want to consume, so it does make me reluctant to start my mornings this way.
There is so much on the television, that can influence our thoughts and actions and it creates a negative impact, which is not ideal to the start of our mornings.
Therefore, sometimes it is best, to start the day by reciting positive affirmations, taking in the word of God or listening to music, that way, we can remain in positiveness.
Here are my top 15 Praise and Worship songs, I love to start my mornings off with. I hope you find them uplifting, inspiring and joyous!
1. Charlie Wilson - I'm Blessed
Yesterday may not have been the best day, but today and every day I get the opportunity to wake up, is a blessing.
I have life and love. I have family and friends. I have shelter and clothing. I have a job and a passion and appreciating all that I have right now, reminds me that I am Blessed.
“Smile up on my face, I'm like, oh Yes, I'm blessed, yes, I'm blessed, yes, I'm blessed”
2. Isaac Carree- In the Middle of it
How many times have our emotions taken over in a split second and the day seemed ruined?
However, this song conveys that, the way to stop worrying, is to live in the present and that no matter what happens or what comes our way, we must give thanks and praise and continue to live life, In The Middle of it. It’s like having a musical reminder to hit the pause button on stress and press play on gratitude.
Life throws curveballs, but this song teaches us to dance right through them. When we focus on the here and now, we realize that every moment, even the challenging ones, is a chance to find joy and express gratitude. So, let’s embrace the chaos, give thanks, and keep grooving through life’s ups and downs!
“Realizing you got somewhere to run. Don't worry 'bout what you're going through. Instead of worrying, here's what you can do. Praise him anyway In the middle of it”
3. Anthony Brown and group therAPy - Up Up Up
You may be feeling tired or weary about the day to come, but once you listen to Up, Up, Up, you are going to feel like you are on cloud nine.
Your heart will be calmed, your mind will be soothed and you will be lifting your hands in praise. You are not here to stay down, this is your time to get Up!
“And I'm not saying that everything is perfect but I feel like God has shined a light on me. So even when it gets tough, Imma keep my head up, because I feel like God has shined a light on me”
4. In The Room
There are times in life, where we feel like we may not belong, we are not understood and we are in a dark place, consumed by the emotions keeping us in a stronghold.
However this song is about the presence of God and in our toughest moments, reminding us that He is not only In The Room with us, but He is by our side through it all.
Whenever you're feeling alone, this is your reminder that God is with you and he can bring you out of your circumstances and into a place of salvation and deliverance.
“I'm not forsaken, never alone. The God of Heaven, calls me His own. He's not just seated upon the throne, I know He's right here inside my home.”
5. It is Raining
On those grey days, when It Is Raining, this is the perfect song to receive a fresh anointing. Being present and listening to the rain is soothing and it brings this peace and clarity, that we never knew we needed.
This soul warming song, relates to the spiritual longing to experience a fresh outpouring of God’s presence and power. Just as rain represents God's blessings and provision, the “latter rain” symbolizes renewal and empowerment. Isn't that beautiful?
“It’s raining, all around me, I can feel it, it’s a lot of rain. Ride on Jesus, please send more rain, until we are wet, until we are soaked, in the latter rain.”

Today is going to be a great day.

Today, is another opportunity for me to thrive.
Today, God is a God, of wonders and miracles.
Beginning our day with a positive mindset and leaning on God’s love and promises, can turn our weakness into strength, our distress into hope and our setbacks into victory. Every morning that you wake up, believe that God is working on your behalf. So when you listen to this song, you will smile with a belief, that you never knew you could encounter.
“You are the God of miracles. You are the God of wonders You are the God all powerful. I believe, say it (I believe, I believe).”
