A Morning Prayer

 

Welcoming God into my life as I wake each morning always brings a smile to my face. Just knowing that He is there, and was, all during the night, is an encouraging way to start the day. One might say this prayer to begin each new morning:

Most gracious heavenly Father, Almighty God, Everlasting King, Hallowed be thy name.

God is our ultimate authority and we should recognize Him as such.

May your name be praised in my heart and from my mouth forever. I love you and my heart worships you.

Our mind should worship and praise God all day long.

 

Thank you, Father, that your mercies never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.

Each day we are refreshed by His mercies that always deliver us through our day.

 

Thank you, Father, that you are in control of all things and know everything. There are no words to describe how wonderful you are.

Since He is in control of everything we can trust Him to guide and direct us each day.
 

Thank you, Father, for saving me into your family. I am unworthy. You are worthy.

How grateful I am to be in God's family.
 

Thank you, Father, for being holy and righteous; long suffering and forgiving, merciful and abounding in grace.

Our loving and gracious Father!!
 

Thank you, Father, for salvation and sending your son, Jesus, here to fulfill it.
 His gift of salvation shows His ultimate love for us.

 

Thank you, Jesus, for dying for me and making it possible for me to one day be with you.

Our Savior gave His life so we can be saved.
 

Thank you, Holy Spirit, for living in me and helping me each day.
 Our guide is always within us helping us in all we do.

Thank you, Father, that I don’t have a headache, and I don’t get headaches like I use to. I’m very grateful.

A thank you to my God for relieving me of a burden I had most of my life.

 

 

I am unworthy. My sin is ever before me, in what I say and what I do, and how I act and what I think. I’m sorry. 

We are all unworthy and need forgiveness through the blood of Jesus.

 

I ask your forgiveness through the blood of Jesus. That you wash me as white as snow and continue to work in me until the day I come to be with you.
His blood cleans us and makes us pure as the fresh fallen snow.

 

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love. Show me the way. Rescue me from my enemies. Teach me to do your will. Psalm 14:3

Each new morning His love covers us and directs us.
 

I will praise your name forever and ever. Every day I will praise you. I will praise my Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Sing! Sing! Sing praises to our God.
 

                                                    Praise the Lord, Oh my soul.

 

 

I pray this prayer every morning, and just like my Melody of Hymns, in just a matter of a few months it is memorized to last me forever.

 

  "A single grateful thought raised to heaven is the most perfect prayer."

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, 1729-1781
