Morning Prayer and Its Benefits

2021-10-19

I am not a morning person and never have been. However, I would like to talk about the benefit of morning prayer. If I could emphasize an important thing about getting up early to pray, it would be getting the right mindset. This might sound like a self-centered reason, and perhaps it is, but only partially.

You begin with eternity in mind.

Lately, I have been praying about outreach opportunity. Part of this is asking the Lord for a vision and a missionary mindset. An improved mindset helps with all aspects of your day.

However, I also commit the day into the Lord’s hands. He is the one who gives strength for our time of need. It is not just mindset that matters, but also His strength in us.

Start every day fresh in the Lord.

It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)
