Thereâs something about fall morningsâthe crisp air, golden leaves, and cozy blanketsâthat invites us to slow down and savor the moment. Autumn is the perfect season to refresh your devotional routine and create intentional space for Godâs Word. Pairing scripture study with a warm cup of tea not only grounds your heart but also sets the tone for a peaceful day.
Here are some simple, practical ways to cultivate a meaningful morning routine with tea and scripture this fall.
1. Prepare Your Space
Choose a spot that feels calm and inviting. It might be by a window with soft light, wrapped in a blanket on the couch, or at a table with a candle lit. Adding autumn touchesâlike a plaid throw, a small pumpkin, or a vase of fall flowersâmakes your quiet time feel sacred and seasonal.
2. Begin with Gratitude
Start with a prayer of thanksgiving. Acknowledge the changing season and the new mercies God gives each day. Writing down even one thing youâre grateful for helps shift your heart into a posture of worship.
đ The 12 Tea-Filled Stories Bible Study Planner includes space for gratitude and reflection so you can make thankfulness a habit.
3. Brew a Cup of Tea
Tea slows us downâit asks us to pause, wait, and enjoy. Select a fall favorite like chai, spiced apple, or rooibos. As you sip, let it remind you of Godâs presence and the warmth of His Word.
4. Engage with Scripture
Donât just readâreflect. Choose a passage or follow a study plan. Read slowly, underline key verses, and jot down what stands out. Ask: How does this speak to my life today?
đ With the 12 Tea-Filled Stories Bible Study Planner, youâll find monthly studies that guide you into scripture and give space for reflection.
5. Write & Pray
End your devotion by journaling your thoughts or prayers. Capture the scriptures that encouraged you and the requests youâre lifting to God. Writing not only helps you remember but also becomes a keepsake of your journey with Him.
Fall is a season of change, but Godâs Word is steady and unchanging. By creating a morning devotional routine with tea and scripture, you can enter each day grounded, refreshed, and connected to Him.
