(ME JUST WAKING UP AND READY TO START THE MORNING WITH PRAYER)
People talk a lot about “morning routines.” Skincare. Journaling. Gym. Protein smoothies. But if Jesus isn’t the first voice I hear and the first presence I seek, I’ve already missed the point of being alive today. I’m not trying to be dramatic — just honest. I’ve been through too much to fake my faith now. The only reason I’ve made it this far is because God held me when no one else even noticed I was falling.

So here I am, writing this out, partly to remember and partly to remind anyone who reads this — if you want power, peace, and purpose in your day, start it with God. Not Instagram. Not the news. Not your anxiety. Go to the throne, not your phone.
Here are the 10 morning prayers I’ve been leaning on. Some days I whisper them with tears, other days I shout them like war cries. But every day, I mean them.

🙏 1. Prayer for Presence
Lord, before I even touch my phone or plan my day, I want You. Be the first voice I hear. Fill this room, fill my heart, and remind me that You are with me. I don’t want to do a single thing without You. Amen.
Some mornings I wake up and I already feel behind — like life’s sprinting and I’m crawling. But His presence stills me. No rush. No panic. Just Him.
🙏 2. Prayer for Gratitude
Jesus, thank You for this day — this breath, this beating heart, this new mercy. Even if everything else feels broken, the fact that I woke up means You’re not done with me yet. Thank You. Amen.
I used to only thank Him when I felt blessed. Now I thank Him even when it hurts. That’s maturity — praising God with a cracked voice.
🙏 3. Prayer for Boldness
Father, make me bold. Not arrogant, not loud — but boldly obedient. Help me speak truth even when it costs me. Help me love when it’s not convenient. Make me brave for You. Amen.
Some people call me “too much.” But if I’m too much for them while I’m following Jesus, then maybe they’re not walking with the same Jesus.

🙏 4. Prayer for Wisdom
Holy Spirit, guide my decisions today. Don’t let me lean on my own understanding. Lead me in every conversation, every step. I don’t want to just be busy — I want to be in alignment. Amen.
I’ve made dumb choices when I didn’t wait for God’s voice. Now I know — wisdom is more than smarts. It’s surrender.
🙏 5. Prayer for Peace
Prince of Peace, calm the storms in my soul. Quiet the voices of fear, regret, and insecurity. Anchor me in Your truth. I choose peace over panic today. Amen.
My peace doesn’t come from circumstances — it comes from knowing who’s in control. And it’s not me. Praise God for that.
🙏 6. Prayer for Purpose
God, use me today. I don’t want to just exist — I want to live on mission. Show me who needs love, who needs truth, who needs hope. Send me. Amen.
Every day has eternal value. If I’m breathing, I’m called. Period.
🙏 7. Prayer for Protection
Lord, protect my mind, my body, my heart. Guard me from temptation, from distraction, from harm. Send angels around me. I plead the blood of Jesus over this day. Amen.
I don’t play with spiritual warfare. The devil’s real — but so is my Defender.
🙏 8. Prayer for Forgiveness
Jesus, forgive me for the ways I’ve fallen short — yesterday, last week, even this morning. Wash me clean. I receive Your grace. I refuse to walk in shame. Amen.
I’ve messed up. A lot. But God’s grace keeps chasing me down. Every day, He still says, “Come home.”
🙏 9. Prayer for Joy
Father, fill me with joy today — real, holy joy that doesn’t depend on what happens. Remind me that I am loved, chosen, and held by You. Let joy be my strength. Amen.
Joy is a weapon. It’s how I fight back against depression, discouragement, and despair.
🙏 10. Prayer for Revival
God, wake me up. Wake up Your church. Let revival start in my heart today. Set me on fire for You. I don’t want lukewarm faith. I want You — fully, fiercely, forever. Amen.
We don’t need more comfort. We need fire. The world is dying while we sleep in. God, forgive us. Shake us.

I don’t care if people think I’m “too Christian.” I’m not living for their approval. I’m living for the God who saved me, healed me, and gave me a reason to breathe again.
If someone’s reading this looking for a sign — this is it. Start your morning with Jesus. Open your Bible before your apps. Talk to God before anyone else. Don’t wait until life falls apart to get desperate. Be desperate now.
And to my future self: don’t forget this. The days you feel closest to God are the ones you started with Him. Stay anchored. Stay hungry. Stay faithful.
