Best Morning Prayer To Start Your Day With God
What a wonderful habit to get into! Starting every morning with the Lord in morning prayer! The first hour of your morning sets the tone for the rest of your day.
Taking time in that first hour to spend in prayer and worship, and studying the Word of God gets you to a place of peace and inner joy. It sets you up to really appreciate the blessings of the Lord throughout the day.
Even Jesus rose early to spend time with the Father. Mark 1:35 NLT – Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.
Dave Jackson of the School of Podcasting has Jeremiah 29:11 on his website. It’s a daily reminder to him that the Lord has great plans for him, despite whatever may be his present situation.
Jeremiah 29:11 I know the plans I have in mind for you, DECLARES THE LORD; they are plans for peace, not disaster, to give you A FUTURE FILLED WITH HOPE.
The Lord does have great plans for your life. But you need to take the time to listen to him and allow yourself to be led by the Holy Spirit.

Brandon Gaille of the Blog Millionaire in his article 21 Personal Development Strategies that Produce Success writes about how he devotes time every morning and evening to prayer.
“I start everyday and end everyday with a prayer. I take five minutes during my prayers to visualize what I am grateful for. As I pray for my wife, my son Grayson, and my son Branson, I visualize the moments of the past day that I am grateful for. This includes the hugs, the laughs, high fives, and the “I love yous.” By the time I am done with my prayer, I am smiling ear to ear and am filled with pure happiness.”
