“In the quiet of the morning
I will worship Your name
I will lift my voice with singing
To praise You again.
For it fills my heart with gladness
That remains through the day
In the quiet of the  morning 
I will worship Your name.”
 
Precious brothers and sisters in Christ, how do you start your day?  As the song above implies that an attitude praising and worshipping our Lord Jesus brings a heart filled with gladness.  This, then, can bring a conscience awareness of the Lord’s presence through the day.  How wonderful!
 
As Jesus told us in John 16:33 referring to His last discourse with His disciples,
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
 
Of God’s peace-- 
It is a gift:
“The LORD will give strength to His people;
The LORD will bless His people with peace.”  Psalm 29:11
 
It is abundant:
“Great peace have those who love Your law,
And nothing causes them to stumble.”  Psalm 119:165
 
It is perfect:
“You will keep in perfect peace
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.”  Isaiah 26:3
 
It is beyond our understanding:
“And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:7
 
In that quiet worshipful time with the Lord, we also take time to prepare for
the tribulations that the world bombards us with continuously.  
 
So with Ephesians 6:14-17  as we prepare for the day, let us take up the armor of God:
“Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
 
Look closely here; we are to put on truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation and the word.  The Lord Jesus Christ is all of these!  
 
As Romans 13:14 says, 
“Put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provisions for the flesh…” 
 
And we do just that when we put on the armor of God!
 
Christ Jesus is our armor!  He is our all in all!  Let us walk in the indwelling Spirit who leads and guides!  As you invest time in the Scriptures ask the Holy Spirit to open them up to you.  He is the one who inspired them and He will reveal them!!
 
Thank you Holy God for your love beyond our finite comprehension.  The very Creator of the universe has made every provision for His own to stand safe and at peace in this lost world.  Amen
