Workday Prayer

“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.” -Psalm 143:8 (NIV)

In addition to giving thanks and seeking strength, knowledge and wisdom, a morning prayer to begin the day that asks God to use you for His purposes is yet another wonderful way to stay centered and to remain open to the blessings that God might do through you in others’ lives.

Here’s an example of a powerful morning prayer for God to use us:

Lord, please use me today in any way you see fit. As you guide my thoughts and actions, please use me to bless others and for your purposes more broadly. Rather than seeking my own will, help me to align with Yours. Thank you, God, for all you do for me. In the name of your son Jesus, I pray, amen.
