Hey, lovely ladies,

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the demands of life? Do you struggle to find peace and purpose in the midst of chaos? I totally get it!

As women, we wear many hats – wife, mom, friend, career woman. But in the midst of all these responsibilities, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. That's why starting your day with prayer is so crucial.

The Power of Morning Prayer

In the quiet moments of the morning, before the world awakens and the day's tasks unfold, lies an opportunity to set the tone for a purposeful and peaceful life. Starting your day with prayer is more than just a habit – it's a powerful way to connect with your Heavenly Father, seek guidance, and find strength.

As we begin each new day, we're met with unknown challenges and uncertainties. But with prayer, we can face these moments with confidence, knowing that God's presence and wisdom are with us. By dedicating time to prayer, we open ourselves to receive His love, mercy, and direction

A Prayer to Start Your Day

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you with grateful hearts, thanking you for this new day, filled with fresh mercies and blessings. As we step into the unknown, we claim your promise that goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives (Psalm 23:6).

Just like Sarah, who waited patiently for your promise to be fulfilled, we wait on you today. Remind us, Lord, that your timing is perfect, and your plans are always for our good.

We plead the blood of Jesus over our lives, spirits, souls, and bodies, covering every area with His redemption and protection. Help us to trust in your sovereignty, knowing that you are our Rock, our Refuge, and our Redeemer.

In the midst of life's chaos, we often feel like Martha, overwhelmed by the tasks and responsibilities. But you remind us, Lord, to prioritize our relationship with you, just as Mary did (Luke 10:38-42). Guide us through the ups and downs of life, and keep our hearts focused on your love and faithfulness.

As we face challenges and uncertainties, remind us that you are our ever-present help in times of need (Psalm 46:1). Just as you were with Ruth, guiding her through unfamiliar territory, be with us today.

Grant us wisdom and discernment to distinguish between your voice and the enemy's lies. Help us to resist the temptation to worry, fear, or doubt, and instead, fix our eyes on your word, which is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path (Psalm 119:105).

We think of women like Deborah, who boldly trusted your guidance and led others with courage (Judges 4). Give us that same courage, Lord, to stand firm in our faith and lead others to you.

We surrender every situation, relationship, thought, concern, and worry to you, Father. Take every doubt, fear, and depressing emotion, and release your grace and mercy upon us.

Fill us with your Holy Spirit, giving us spiritual eyes to see and ears to hear. Help us to discern your still, small voice amidst the noise of life.
