This structured morning prayer is grounded in Scripture and designed to guide your heart each day toward worship, humility, gratitude, and faith-filled obedience.
1. Adoration – Worship God for Who He Is
“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” (Matthew 6:9)
“I will exalt You, my God the King, and I will bless Your name forever and ever.” (Psalm 145:1)
Lord, You are holy, righteous, and true. You are the everlasting God, the Creator of all things. I lift my voice and my heart to worship You. You alone are worthy of all glory and honor. I begin this day declaring that You are my refuge, my rock, my shield, and my deliverer.
2. Confession – Acknowledge Sin and Receive Forgiveness
“Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” (Matthew 6:12)
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.” (Psalm 139:23–24)
Father, I confess my sins before You. I lay down the thoughts, words, and actions that were not pleasing to You. Forgive me for pride, impatience, and self-reliance. Cleanse me and restore me through the blood of Jesus. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
3. Thanksgiving – Express Gratitude to God
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits.” (Psalm 103:2)
Thank You, Lord, for this new day. Thank You for life, breath, and strength. Thank You for Your unfailing love and great faithfulness. Thank You for salvation through Christ, for Your Spirit who leads me, and for Your Word that nourishes me. I give thanks for the seen and unseen ways You are working in my life.
4. Supplication – Ask God for Help and Strength
“Give us this day our daily bread.” (Matthew 6:11)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5–6)
Lord, I need You today. Strengthen me for the tasks ahead. Help me to walk by faith and not by sight. Guard my mind and fill me with wisdom. Let my words be seasoned with grace and my actions reflect Your love. Provide for my needs and lead me in righteousness.
5. Intercession – Pray for Others
“I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men.” (1 Timothy 2:1)
“Pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.” (James 5:16)
Father, I lift up my family, friends, and church. I pray for the brokenhearted, the sick, and the lost. Strengthen the weary, comfort the grieving, and save those far from You. Be with those in leadership, both in the church and in the world. Let Your gospel go forth in power today.
6. Dedication – Commit Your Day and Life to God
“Not my will, but Yours be done.” (Luke 22:42)
“Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” (Matthew 11:29)
I surrender this day to You, Lord. May Your will be done in my life. Take my thoughts, my desires, and my plans, and align them with Your purpose. Teach me to walk in humility, to live in love, and to trust You fully. Use me as a vessel of Your grace.
7. Benediction – Close in Peace and Trust
“Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23:6)
“Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance. The Lord be with you all!” (2 Thessalonians 3:16)
Thank You, Lord, for hearing my prayer. I trust that You go before me. I rest in Your promises. Let me live today with joy, courage, and obedience, for You are faithful and good. In Jesus’ name, amen.
