Morning Reading

I put together some kick-in-the-pants verses, along with some encouraging ones, to read in the morning after my alarm clock goes off, which hopefully will be followed by getting out of bed instead of lying there for another hour, worrying over all the things that need to be done that day. (Obviously, I can get a good start on those things by getting up and DOING them rather than lying about, stressing over the thought of them.) Beginning with my favorite admonishing proverb:

"How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest - and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man."
-Proverbs 6:9-11

"The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied." -Proverbs 13:4

"[Your compassions] are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." -Lamentations 3:23

"Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens." -Psalm 68:19

"Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
-2 Corinthians 4:16-18

I'll probably add to the list as I find additional appropriate verses. These are next to the alarm clock, ready for morning.
Even if I'm not.
