Two years ago when C. J. Mahaney interviewed Wayne Grudem (parts 1, 2, 3, 4), Grudem served me well by sharing how he transitions from his morning devotions (reading the Bible and praying) to the rest of the day.

From part 1:

At the end of the time I will usually bring before the Lord my “to do” list, and pray about various items on the list, asking the Lord to help me know what to make a top priority today, and asking his blessing on the things that I plan to do.

From part 2:

I find the most helpful thing I do regarding use of time is to spend time in prayer each morning bringing my plans and my “to do” list before the Lord and seeking his direction.
