Christian Morning Devotion Routine as A Working Woman

As a full-time working woman, mornings are hard. Hitting snooze felt like my only win, and racing out the door with no breakfast and a cluttered mind was a daily ritual. But everything changed when I committed to starting each day with a Christian morning devotion routine . It wasn’t about perfection—it was about presence. His presence.

This simple yet intentional shift transformed not just my mornings, but my emotional health, my mindset, and my ability to respond with grace throughout the day. Now, I look forward to my peaceful moments with God before the world demands my attention.

In this post, I’ll walk you through my full Christian morning devotion routine , why it works for me, and how you can make it work for you—no matter how packed your schedule is.

“In the morning, Lord, You hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before You and wait expectantly.” — Psalm 5:3

Starting your day in the presence of God is more than just a habit—it’s a spiritual anchor. As a working woman juggling career, home life, and personal responsibilities, beginning your day with a Christian morning devotion routine helps you:

• Invite peace into your schedule

• Quiet your anxious thoughts before the rush begins

• Set intentional goals with God

• Remember who you are and Whose you are

Skipping my devotion time always leaves me feeling scattered. But when I show up—even for just 15 minutes—I feel grounded, refreshed, and connected to God's will for my day.

Before diving into my routine, let’s talk about atmosphere. Your space can set the tone for your devotion time. Here's how I create a space that draws me into God's presence:

• A cozy corner near a window with natural light

• A lit candle or diffuser with lavender or eucalyptus

• My Bible, journal, and a devotional (usually my Choose Him Devotional)

• A cup of coffee in my favorite mug

• Calm instrumental worship music in the background

You don’t need an elaborate setup—just a few intentional touches to help your spirit slow down and connect.

Let’s break down exactly what I do each morning. This routine usually takes 30–45 minutes, but it’s flexible. On rushed days, I scale it back. On slower days, I go deeper.

Before reaching for my phone, I whisper a prayer of thanks:

“Thank You, Lord, for this new day. Help me walk with You.”
This helps center my mind on Christ before distractions kick in.

This is the heart of my Christian morning devotion routine . Some days I follow a Bible reading plan, and most days I use the other days I use my devotional journal. I read slowly, asking the Holy Spirit to highlight what I need for that day.

Favorite resources:

• The Youversion and Pray.com Bible Apps (for plans)

• My Spiral Bible with wide margins

• The Choose Him Devotional for short, powerful reflections

Journaling helps me go deeper. I write down:

• The verse that stood out

• What it’s teaching me

• A prayer or confession

• What I believe God is speaking to my heart

This step turns passive reading into active transformation.

I play or sing a worship song that matches how I feel or want to feel. Then, I pray over:

• My schedule

• My family and loved ones

• My emotions and thoughts

• Any specific challenges ahead

This part of my Christian morning devotion routine helps me release control and trust God with my day.

Words have power. Speaking God’s truth over my life lifts my mindset and sets a faith-filled tone.

Some of my favorite affirmations:

• “God’s peace rules in my heart.”

• “I am chosen and called for such a time as this.”

• “I will not fear, for God is with me.”

This spiritual reset brings my thoughts under the authority of Scripture.

Let’s be real—it’s not always easy. Some mornings I hit snooze. Other mornings I feel distracted or too tired. But here’s what keeps me going:

• Set out your Bible, journal, and any books you use

• Set your coffee maker on a timer

• Choose your worship playlist ahead of time

Even 10–15 minutes with God is powerful. Don't aim for perfect—aim for consistent.

Use a devotional tracker or checklist (you can even download mine at the end of this post!). Seeing your progress keeps you motivated.

Life happens. Travel, kids, sickness, or fatigue will throw things off. That doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Just return the next day. God isn’t looking for perfection—He’s looking for your heart.

Sister, you are more than your role at work, more than your responsibilities at home, and more than your to-do list. You are a daughter of the Most High , and He longs to spend time with you before the busyness of the day begins

Matthew 6:33 reminds us:
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

When you prioritize your Christian morning devotion routine , you’re not just checking off a box—you’re aligning your soul with God’s best for your life.

You don’t need a full hour, a perfectly styled space, or a special study plan. You just need a willing heart. Start with five minutes. Add more as your desire grows.

My Christian morning devotion routine is the best decision I’ve made for my emotional health, spiritual growth, and daily peace. I pray it becomes the same for you.
