Even while coffeeis a wonderful way to begin the day, you would do well to begin each day with some thoughtful morning prayersChristians. Spending time in prayer prepares you spiritually and emotionally for whatever challenges lie ahead.
Taking a few moments to pray first thing in the morning helps set the tone for the rest of the day with gratitude, humility, and love for God.
The purpose of praying in the morning is to set our focus on God at the outset of each new day.
Lord, keep me close today. Teach me how to select just Your route today so each step brings me closer to You. Help me follow the Word, not my emotions. Help me maintain my integrity. Protect me from my carelessness. Keep me from thinking about my wants, desires, and ideals. Help me see challenges as opportunities. Right now, I deliberately store Your whisper of unconditional love in my heart. I know You adore me regardless of my performance. You love my flaws, but the most wonderful thing is that the Savior of the world wanted to see me this morning. Help me always remember how special it is to sit with You. Amen.
God, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the rest of the night and the gift of a new day with more chances to serve you. Grant that we may spend its hours in such a way that we are completely free to serve you, so that at night we may again give you thanks. This we ask in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Let Your soul fill my every emotion. Let Your love fulfill me. God, thank You for today. All I ask is that I simply feel You with me. You're leading me safely and I'm Yours in Jesus' name. Amen.
