He will answer my prayers with\nscriptures, visions or give me an answer in another language and even be so\ngentle by providing the correct spelling for that word\/sentence. &nbsp;&nbsp;Oh my! The presence of God that I experience\nin my office is inexplicable and it continues throughout the day.&nbsp; I will feel His amazing joy in my heart. If\nthe day at work becomes stressful, I will take a walk, pray and take a few deep\nbreaths and know that my hope and trust is in the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I searched for a few\nScriptures on Google regarding the word \u2018morning\u2019, and here are a few KJV Scriptures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Psalm 90:14 &#8211; <strong><sup>&nbsp;<\/sup><\/strong>O satisfy us early with thy\nmercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.<\/li><li>Psalm 119:147&nbsp;&#8211; <strong><sup>&nbsp;<\/sup><\/strong>I prevented\nthe dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.<\/li><li>Lamentations 3:22-23 &#8211; &#8220;It is of the\nLORD&#8217;S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
