7 Powerful Morning Prayers To Inspire your Prayer Time
But don’t feel like it has to look a certain way or go in some kind of order. Let yourself be real and open before the Lord. Share with Him the things that are on your heart. This can include your family, work, church, and/or world events.
Alright, let’s get started!
Thanksgiving
Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving And His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, bless and praise His name. – Psalm 100:4 AMP
Giving thanks to God for your day is a wonderful way to worship and show your appreciation. But according to Psalm 100 it says we enter His gates with thanksgiving. This means that giving thanks draws us closer to God and His presence.
Protection
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence. – Psalm 91:1-3 NKJV
Praying for protection for yourself and your family is a wonderful and powerful thing to do. Another thing you can pray for is put on the full armor of God on. (Ephesians 6:10-18)
Guidance
Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me. – Psalm 119:133
I always ask the Lord to guide me through my day. And that things He has planned for this day would come to pass. That I would be at the right place and the right time.
Wisdom
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. – James 1:5
As I ask for God’s guidance I always like to like to ask that He gives me wisdom throughout my day. Wisdom in my dealings with people and wisdom with work…
Peace
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7
We are constantly bombarded with things that want to steal our peace. Ask the Lord to give you peace throughout your day. That whatever comes your way would roll off you back and that you can put your trust in Him.
Devotion
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. – Romans 12:1
I am a big fan of praying for our hearts to draw closer to the Lord. We should desire for more hunger, passion, and dedication to the Lord. And one way we can stir this up is by asking for it in prayer.
Blessing
“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” – Numbers 6:24-26
Morning prayer is also a good time to pray for blessings over yourself, family, friends and whatever the Lord leads you to.
