“In the morning, O LORD, You hear my voice; at daybreak I lay my plea before You and wait in expectation.” Before the phone, before the news, a minute with God sets the day on its feet.
These are short prayers for the start of the day: for the work ahead, the people you will meet, and grace for whatever the day holds.
Psalm 5:3
Lord, in the morning You hear my voice. Before this day begins, I lay my plea before You: the work ahead of me, the people I will meet, and the things that worry me. Lead me in Your righteousness, and make Your way straight before me. Let me take refuge in You and rejoice. Surround me and those I love with the shield of Your favor, and I will wait for You in expectation. Amen.
Pray along with the voice →Psalm 90:14
Lord, this morning, before the day gets busy, satisfy me with Your loving devotion. Fill me with Your love first, so I don’t spend the day looking for it somewhere else. Give me a glad heart, patience with the people I meet and eyes to see Your goodness in small things. Let me sing for joy today, and be glad in You all my days. Amen.
Pray along with the voice →Psalm 118:24
Lord, this is the day You made — on purpose, for me. I rejoice and am glad in it before I know how it goes. Walk these hours with me. I sign for it with thanks. Amen.
Pray along with the voice →Psalm 63:1-8
O God, You are my God. Earnestly I seek You this morning; my soul thirsts for You, as in a dry and weary land without water. Your loving devotion is better than life, so my lips will praise You, and I lift my hands in Your name. Satisfy my soul today. You are my help; I will sing in the shadow of Your wings. My soul clings to You; hold me up with Your right hand. Amen.
Pray along with the voice →Psalm 143:8
Father, before today asks anything of me, remind me that Your mercy is new this morning — that I don't have to earn it. I don't need to see the whole day; just show me the first step, and I'll take it with You. Thank You for going out ahead of me. Amen.
Pray along with the voice →Psalm 19:14
Lord, before I speak to anyone today, I speak to You. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. Guard what I say at home, at work and online. Cleanse me from my hidden faults, and keep me from willful sins. Let my words build others up, and let my thoughts stay with You. Amen.
