Today, even though it might be difficult, help me to honor that love with a generous, compassionate heart. God of the Universe, God of all Creation, Guide me today and every day Lord, helping me remember with every breath I take that my job is to align myself with You. Let me not fear making a decision, for I know that if it is not Your will, I can trust that You will speak truth into my life and steer me back on track. Guide my steps, my thoughts, my decisions, and my life so it all points to You and Your plan. But You see all things, and You know Your ultimate purpose. I see the world and my own life with all-too-human eyes, and I miss the wider perspective. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” You protect me with a passionate, perfect care, and I commit my soul to You now and always. As Jesus reminds us in Matthew 10:28, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Most importantly, help me keep my gaze focused on You and trust that there is nothing on earth that can befall me that can possibly compare to Your great power and might. Keep me sheltered from them and encircled in Your care. Illnesses, toxins, and other physical attacks surround me also. Temptations press in, calling my name-please keep me safe and empower me to resist their allure by calling on Your Precious Name. Wrap me in Your loving, protective arms today. Please grant me strength, endurance, health, and stamina today. With Your supernatural power, my faith can move mountains, because it rests in You, the author of all things. My human weaknesses threaten to bring me to my knees.īut with You, Lord, I can do all things. Lord God, sometimes the tasks before me loom high and insurmountable, like a wall I cannot possibly scale. Photo credit: ©Getty Images/olegbreslavtsev 4. We can trust in You, and You will protect and provide for us. As You told your son Joshua as he was about to enter the Promised Land all those thousands of years ago, You will never leave us or forsake us.
In Psalm 46:10 You urge us to recognize Your glory, telling us, “Be still, and know that I am God I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Your glory is enough-You are enough. Today, I choose to turn over all my wants and instead rest in Your love. Sometimes my heart yearns for all the things I think I don’t have, instead of cherishing the blessings You give. In You I trust, and in You I place my hope, now and forever. Help me have the humility and passion of the father in Mark 9:23-24 who begged Jesus to heal his son, crying out, “I do believe help me overcome my unbelief!”
Help me know in every ounce of my being that You are Lord and Savior, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. Help me cling to You as the only source of rescue and refuge. Instead, let the truth of the Great I Am wash over me. In this time of busy, hectic rushing, with so many priorities clamoring to take my attention, help me to push aside all the other voices in culture competing for my heart and mind. Help me to hold this gratitude in my heart all day long and to overflow with joy so I can share it with others in all I think, say, and do. Thank You for the opportunity of salvation and for the gift of Your son, Jesus Christ. Thank you, Father God, for breath in my lungs and sun on my skin.
You do this because You love me, because You are perfect and good, and because Your ways are infinitely higher than my own. Help me know in my soul I do not deserve the blessings You choose to bestow, yet You offer them anyway. Help me, Lord, not to take any of this for granted. You made me-truly, Your hand crafted everything in this universe. You made the heavens and the earth, the land and the sea, the fish that swim in the waters and the creatures that crawl upon the shores. Here are some quick, encouraging morning prayers that can help you center your day exactly where it belongs: in the Lord. Similarly, starting your day in prayer, by bowing heart, mind, and soul to the Lord of the universe, can propel your day from ho-hum to positively sparking with the fire of the Holy Spirit. Whether that’s meditation, a workout routine, or a healthy breakfast, starting the day “right” often leads to a strong noon, and that momentum carries through until nightfall. Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us the Lord’s mercies never fail and are restored with every rising sun, while Psalm 30:5 says that while weeping stays for the night, joy comes in the morning.Ĭoaches often advise people embarking on a lifestyle change to start their day with a positive, affirming routine that both centers and energizes them.
