Workday Prayer

“Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress.” -Isaiah 33:2 (NIV)

With the quest for strength often comes the need for wisdom and discernment — two elements of the human experience that we can seek out from God. As life throws curveballs and people navigate through the experience, offering morning prayers to God to provide knowledge and discernment is a natural and common-sense way to start each day.

Here’s a sample of a comforting morning prayer seeking guidance for the day:

Lord, thank you for this day. I ask that You would guide my path today and, more specifically, my thoughts, words and actions. Please be with me throughout the day and help me navigate whatever comes my way. Most importantly, help me to reflect and live out my life in a way that is honoring to you. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
