Gentle Morning Prayer

Heavenly Father,
As this new morning unfolds, I come before You with a quiet heart and open hands. Thank You for the gift of life, for the breath in my lungs, and for the grace that carried me through the night.

I welcome this day as a blessing, not knowing all it will hold, but trusting that You are already there.

Lord, gently awaken my spirit. Calm my thoughts and ease any worries that try to rise with the morning light. Help me to move through today with patience, kindness, and humility.

Let my words be thoughtful, my actions be loving, and my decisions be guided by Your wisdom rather than my fears.

Go before me in every task, every conversation, and every challenge. When I feel overwhelmed, remind me to pause and lean on You. When I feel uncertain, anchor my heart in Your truth.

Teach me to walk slowly enough to notice Your goodness and strong enough to trust Your timing.

Father, cover my loved ones with Your protection and peace today. Bless the work of my hands and align my plans with Your will. May this day draw me closer to You and shape me to reflect Your light.

I place this day in Your care, trusting that You will lead me step by step.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
