A Morning Prayer

A Morning Prayer
Our Father, in Jesus name, I come to You, by faith.
Right now I draw near to You and thankfully You promised to draw near to me.
May I please come to know You even better today.
May I be used as an instrument of Your grace and mercies today.

I admit that I cannot cope with all the challenges today all alone.
I acknowledge that I need Your help today; just like every other day.

I thank You for the ease of prayer.
I appreciate that You have provided access due to the finished work of Your Son.
I thank You for the examples and instructions about prayer in the Bible.

I am grateful for all those who have prayed for me over the years.
May I be used by You to pray for others effectively.
I believe that You are glorified when You answer our prayers.

As I start this day, I bring to You the following petitions.
Please guide me Lord.
Show me the best paths.
Direct me to the resources that I need.
Connect with the right people for this day.

May I give and receive Your love while I am relating with others.
May I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness, so that You will satisfy me.
May I earnestly seek You and Your truth, so that You will set me free.
May Your Holy Spirit make alive Your Word in my mind and heart.
May this day be filled with Your peace and Your presence.
May You be glorified in my thoughts, words and deeds.
May I expect and receive blessings from You throughout the day and night.
May I gladly and generously be used by You to bless others.

I ask You to grant me hearing hears and seeing eyes.
May I discern and apply the lessons You are teaching me.

When this day is done may I look back and be grateful for Your presence and helps.
Let this day be an important part of Your transforming me to become more like Christ.
Let this day merge with the other days, weeks, months and years to be pleasing to You.
Let the story of my life serve as a testimony of Your faithfulness and goodness.


Amen.                                                                                                                Brother John
