A Morning
Prayer

Lord, I pray that You would fill this morning with a sense of who You are. That You would walk with me each step through this day.

And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

Exodus 33:14 · KJV

That You would protect me. That Your Holy Spirit would speak wisdom to me. That I would find comfort in knowing that I walk in the shadow of the wing of the Almighty.

He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

Psalm 91:4 · NLT

Lord, that You would give me eyes to see and sense danger around me. That You would give me words to speak against the enemy.

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Luke 10:19 · NKJV

That You would give me insight into his plans against me and those whom I love, and that I would rise up in Your Spirit of truth and know how to fight, fight against that which would choose to oppress me and those I love. Lord, that I would no longer be an easy victim, but that I would become someone feared in the spirit realm.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

1 John 4:4 · NKJV

That You would open my eyes, so I may clearly see my enemy and the workings he does in the spirit realm. Increase my gifting. Prepare me. Teach me to wear my armor correctly. And to walk always in Your truth.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all.

1 Corinthians 12:7 · NKJV

Let me feel the love You have for me. Let it surround the air I walk in and let it fill my heart with a sense of belonging in Your Kingdom. Let me know that I am Your beloved child and that You care for me and You want the best for me. That You’ve prepared a way for me and that everything I have need of You have supplied.

The LORD your God in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:17 · NKJV

Let me have this full revelation so that I know and trust to come to You with every need that I have, with the full belief and knowing that You will provide. You are my Father. You are my King. You are my Savior. And I want to walk in the full truth of that knowledge. May You protect me and those I love today. Protect us in our soul. Protect us in our heart. Protect us in our body. Protect us in our mind. Protect our spirit. That we would walk fully in the truth of how much You love and care for us.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7 · KJV

Lord, I lift up my family and those I love to You this morning. Cover each one of them in Your peace as they go into this day. Protect their hearts, their minds and their steps, and bring them home safely tonight. Let our home be a place where You are loved and served, and where You are acknowledged for who You are. Amen.

But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Joshua 24:15 · KJV

Father, I give You the work of this day. Let me do it with my whole heart, as unto You. Give me patience with the people I work alongside, clarity in my decisions, and integrity in everything I put my hand to. Amen.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Colossians 3:23 · KJV

Lord, this morning I put on the full armor You have given me. I fasten the belt of truth around me and put on the breastplate of righteousness. I set my feet in the readiness of the gospel of peace. I take up the shield of faith to quench every fiery dart of the enemy. I put on the helmet of salvation and take up the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word. Keep my eyes open and my heart available to serve You. Amen.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6:13–17 · KJV

Give God your first moments, before messages, news or email. Even two minutes changes the tone of a day.

Name one or two things you are grateful for. Gratitude quiets worry and turns your heart toward Him.

Speaking a prayer slows you down and helps you focus on each word. A whisper is enough.

Choose one Scripture from this page and carry it in your heart through the day.

Name what is in front of you: the meeting, the appointment, the conversation you are dreading. Ask Him to walk with you.

A good morning prayer is simply an honest conversation with God at the start of your day. Thank Him, ask Him to walk with you, and give Him what is ahead. The prayers on this page are a place to begin, and you are welcome to pray them in your own words.

There is no required length. Morning prayer is a practice of bringing God into all things: acknowledging Him first, and setting your mind on Him as you move through your day. Prayer is a conversation with Him, so it can be as long or as short as your morning allows. Jesus Himself got up “very early in the morning, while it was still dark” to pray (Mark 1:35, NIV), but a sincere minute matters too.

David wrote, “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD” (Psalm 5:3, KJV), and Lamentations 3:23 reminds us that God’s mercies “are new every morning.” Throughout Scripture, morning is a time to seek Him first.
