7 Important Prayers to Say First Thing in the Morning
Share
Whether you jump out of bed in the morning or attempt to hit snooze as many times possible before waking up, it is important to invite God into your day. We do not wake up each day hoping the sun will come up, because it is the regular faithfulness of the Lord Creator who perfectly keeps our solar system running in order. There are so many little things that we can easily neglect to acknowledge the Lord is at work in each day. Here are seven morning prayers to start your day.
Father,
I pray boldly for wisdom today. I need Your understanding and Your guidance in decisions and in what to say yes and no to. Lead me in the way that I should go. Help me to see with spiritual eyes in every situation that comes my way. Guard my mouth to be slow to speak. Open my ears to listen well to others. Reveal Your perfect will in my life. You are perfectly wise and know all things. Give me the ability to know Your best in every circumstance and to choose it.
Amen.
Lord Jesus,
I praise You for Your provisions in my life. Thank You for a place to sleep, for food, and for clothing. I am so grateful for the basic needs that You provide every day. I pray that You would help me to rely on and trust in You for more provision. I pray that going to work will be an act of faith trusting that You will provide through it. I ask that You would take care of the needs of my family spiritually, emotionally and physically. Would You please care for us. I pray today that out of Your provision for me, I would be able to help provide for others in need. Show me how to love those I come in contact with well.
Amen.
Holy Spirit,
Please fill me up. You are always with me, but help me to invite You into my decisions this day and every day. Help me not to live by my flesh and sinful desires, but by Your ways and Your leading. Help me to be obedient to Your leading and walk with you throughout each moment of the day. I invite you in to transform my heart and mind today. Enable me to live for You. Show me Your will and Your ways. Help me to live by your power and not by my own strength.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
