Other than my alarm clock and two screaming kids who want breakfast (LOL), what gets me out of bed is the Lord.
I believe that even in our day to day struggles, there is much more to life than just existing/living/dying. I believe we are on a journey that eventually leads us to eternal life (if we chose it).
I believe that the Bible is full of scriptures to inspire us to see past our lives' here on earth and grasp that He has prepared a better place for us after we have "fought the good faith and finished the race."
I believe that no matter what it seems like, if we trust God, He has our lives' in His hands- through the good and the bad.
This verse is what gets me out of bed,
" For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
