Powerful 9-Minute Morning Prayer with God to Start Your Day Right | Morning Prayer

every day we need to put on a fresh new attitude you know why yesterday's attitude will get old if you don't start a fresh and a new then you'll bring all the negative from yesterday into today you need to do something to get your day started [Music] right I mean if you're not a person who can manage a long time then take 5 minutes or 3 minutes or something lock yourself in the bathroom and pray for 5 minutes just say God help me help me I want to put on love I want to go out

of my house today and treat people right I've got problems God and they tend to make me cranky don't let me take them out on other people make a plan to go out and behave yourself every morning when you wake up you need to say father thank you for this day thank you that you woke me up thank you that you gave me air to breathe thank you that you surrounded me with favor I'm grateful to be alive I'm grateful for my family I'm grateful for opportunities Lord I'm going to live this day to the

full that's putting on a fresh new attitude you wipe the Slate clean you let go of yesterday's disappointments what didn't work out you get your mind going in the right Direction I'm going to see the good today I'm going to be kind to somebody I'm going to stay in faith and enjoy this day make a plan to be a blessing plan ahead of time that when somebody offends you you're going to forgive them immediately plan ahead of time to be quick to forgive plan ahead of time to give things away to compliment people to encourage

people just get up in the morning and think okay Lord here's my goal today everywhere that I go I don't know how many people I'll see today maybe 15 20 25 but every single person I see I want to say a little something to them that will make them feel a little bit better than they were before I got there Psalm 119: 147 says I Rise early to cry out for help and to put my hope in your words he says I start every morning talking to you I cry out in prayer and listen to

you I read your word he says I start my day with hope are you starting your day with hope or with [Music] despair at some point we have to look in the mirror and say maybe I'm the one that needs to change maybe I've developed a habit of seeing what what's wrong rather than what's right maybe I've trained myself to be negative disrespectful hard to get along with that's why it's so important every morning to put on this fresh new attitude I'm excited about this day I don't have to go to work I get to

go to work I'm grateful for this job I'm not focusing on what's wrong Lord I want to thank you for what's right in my life hey Jesus died for us so we can have a great life church I want you to have the very best life that you can have and there's a lot of lost people out there that don't know Christ so let's get out in the world and be a living message to them let's preach at all times and only use words when it's necessary let's let our attitude and our actions do the

preaching you know you can argue with words but you cannot argue with consistent action this day is a gift from God it is filled with possibilities new ideas and new friendships Mercy is kindness and kindness is Mercy and boy we love the mercy of God don't we oh my gosh Mercy is so amazing that we can do things wrong and God just forgives us that he never shuts us out of his life because we didn't do everything exactly the way he wanted it done his Mercy is new every day every morning and I figure that

he makes a new batch every day because I used up all of yesterdays some of you need to get up this is why it's so important to get up in the morning and spend some time with God am I going to live this day negative sour seeing the wrong with a chip on my shoulder or am I going to live it in faith positive hopeful seeing the best being good to people this is a choice that we have to make every day whatever you happen to be facing today or may face I actually want you

to call it Goliath because if you call it Goliath then at least you know where it's going to wind up life is too short to live negative sour letting circumstances dictate our attitude every morning you need to make the decision this is another day the Lord has made I'm going to live it in faith I'm going to be positive I'm going to see the best I'm going to make the most of this day now before we pray I'd first like to speak on the importance of early morning prayers I want us to understand why we

should be praying first before we start our day because it's only once once you understand the importance of morning prayer that you can begin to put it into practice everyone needs a place to be alone with God as long as we don't have a place we won't be able to maintain private prayer Mark 1:35 says very early in the morning while it was still dark Jesus got up left the house and went off to a solitary place where he prayed Jesus knew the value and the power of private prayer Jesus spent time alone in the

wilderness for 40 days and nights he later spent more time alone praying In The Garden of Gethsemane before the cross his example is important for every believer we cannot do the work of God we cannot live and walk by faith we can't even live a life pleasing to God if we are not filled with him everyone who claims to follow Christ should take the time alone to recharge take the time to talk to God get to know him for yourself not just through some sermon you hear online you need to get to know him for

yourself you should take the time to read scripture and consider what God has for you next and let me challenge you right now stand up and be honest with yourself right now are you praying like you should be are you taking the time to recharge your faith do you have a place where you can pray without distractions a a place that you can pray openly and I challenge you to find your time for private prayer because this life will drain too much of you listen to me life will happen situations will happen things will come

up that will drain your focus on God doing life out of your own power that will not work we need God we need the holy spirit so that fatigue and burnout won't happen we need him so that we don't grow weary spending time with God keeps our focus on him and off ourselves and I believe that the best time to pray privately is in the morning that's when our Spirits are fresh and our minds are free that's when our bodies are rested it's before the cares and distractions of the day have taken our focus and

it's better to go from prayer to business than from business to prayer Mark 1:35 says very early in the morning while it was still dark dark Jesus got up left the house and went off to a solitary place where he prayed if Jesus made the effort to get up and pray while it was still mour how much more important is it for us how much more is it important for us to get up before the world grabs possession of our thoughts before the devil tries to tempt us and fills us with Unholy Feelings by having

communion with God the father in the morning we saying Lord out of all my priorities instead of going for a run instead of going to the gym or making cereal Lord you are the most important on my to-do list today and I will give you the first fruit of my day if we allow time for God first thing in the morning he will bring together the rest of our day you'll find that you start your day strong you start your day being full in your spirit and you're in a stronger position not to be hungry

for this world not to give in to the lures of this world but if you wait until later to have your private time with the father what tends to happen and if you're honest you'll agree what tends to happen is that we push it back I'll pray later I'll pray as soon as I get home I'll pray after it gets pushed out of the lineup and either it never gets done or it gets done in a hurry and then if you're not careful you'll find that you've gone days without spending quality Time In God's Presence

days without talking to God or reading his word you're in danger of filling yourself up with the world and leaving no room for God as opposed to filling yourself up with the Lord and leaving no room for the world do you know what Colossians 3: 1-4 means it says since then you have been raised with Christ set your hearts on things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of of God set your minds on things above not on Earthly things Jesus wants us to seek first his kingdom and righteousness and this begins with

how we set our mind emotions and behavioral Direction during the first part of each day what we think about we become if we start each day with communion prayer worship and praise then we will bear much fruit for the Lord Jesus awoke before Daybreak because he wanted to avoid the distractions that would come from people events and duties we should also set an appointment with the Lord that we will not miss or put off don't be choked out by the worries the pleasures the duties of this life instead set your mind on things above now

I'm not saying to neglect your responsibilities it just means prioritize your soul and your spirit because in a heartbeat any one of us can be standing in front of our maker and the thing is those other priorities those other duties they won't mean a thing when you stand in front of the Lord all that matters is your relationship with him when we devote ourselves to the Lord and his word every morning he restores our soul he makes us walk in the path of righteousness when we choose to let go of our prayer lives or our

prayer time in the morning several things can happen we're not able to see things in people around us from a more spiritual standpoint we end up reacting to people and situations from a carnal standpoint instead of a let go and let God handle this point of view we end up facing the day without being fed in our spirit there are countless things that can go wrong in your day if you choose not to begin your day with prayer of course things can still go wrong when you do pray in the morning but after you start

your day with prayer you find that you're able to take things on with a peace that's beyond human understanding you're able to handle things with confidence knowing that you have a God who works through you in you and for you God already knows what we will face that day before we ever open our eyes why not take a few minutes to ask him what the plan is Psalm 119 verse 147 says I Rise Before Dawn and cry for help I have put my hope in your word hope in God's word encourages us to continue in

prayer it's better to take time from sleep than not to find time for prayer we have access to God at all hours and if our first thoughts in the morning are of God then he will help to keep us in the right frequency all day long so hear me our earliest thoughts should be those of devotion our earliest acts should be an acknowledgment of God our first actions should be private prayer so let's make a commitment commit to starting our days with God now let's pray Lord Jesus your word in Proverbs 16:3 says commit to

the Lord whatever you do and He will establish your plans father in obedience to your word I commit everything to you I commit it all Lord the plans I have made they're in your hands father the goals I've written down and all of the things that I want to achieve I commit them into your hands father in agreement with everyone under the sound of my voice we commit our ways to you we commit Our Lives to you Lord Jesus our families our children our marriages we commit it all to you mighty God take control and

have your way let your will be done in our lives God May the Holy Spirit lead and move within our hearts and our H so that we may do that which is pleasing in your sight father in committing all that I have to you I am saying that I submit to you Lord Jesus I Trust You Lord I believe in you and I believe in your word Lord Jesus as I commit everything to you as I declare my loyalty and Devotion to you I also submit my thought life into your hands I submit my heart's

desires to you reshape my thinking let my thinking be aligned to the word of God let my heart's desire be pure in your sight this world may try to get me to conform to its ways but I pray that you would give me the strength to overcome the Temptation Of The World friends may try to entice me so that I can conform to their sinful ways but Lord I pray that you would give me the strength to overcome every Temptation may I be so committed to following you Lord that nothing in this world would take

my focus or Draw my affection Lord I will not fear the unknown because my eyes are continuously fixed on you I pray and declare Psalm 16: 8-9 I have set the lord always before me because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices My Flesh also will rest in hope I will not be moved by any situation my heart is filled with gladness and joy because I'm under your care Lord Jesus I may not know what tomorrow has in store for me but I

do have faith that whatever the enemy means for evil you Lord will turn it around for my good I may not know what tomorrow has in store for me but I do have faith in you as my provider I trust that you will be my safe place be glorified in my life Lord Jesus I'm at peace because I know who my God is I'm at peace because I know who my source is I'm at peace because I know who my protector is Lord you have my focus you have my attention I look to you and

you alone for direction for strength and for comfort I Praise You Lord Jesus for all that you've done and I praise you in advance for all that you are doing and that which you are still yet to do father help me to fearlessly believe in Exodus 14:14 it says the Lord will fight for you and you shall hold your peace God help us to boldly embrace your word help us to embrace it boldly with no doubt out help us to declare and hold on to Isaiah 40: 29-31 he gives strength to the weary and increases

the power of the weak even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength they will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint I pray for strong faith God I pray that I may stand up for Jesus Christ and testify of how he turned my morning into dancing I thank you for your grace and mercy and I thank you for hearing my prayer it's in Jesus's name that I pray amen the

Lord is my light and my salvation so why should I be afraid the Lord is my Fortress protecting me from danger so why should I tremble when evil people come to devour me when my enemies and foes attack me they will stumble and fall though a mighty Army surrounds me my heart will not be afraid even if I am attacked I will remain confident the one thing I ask of the Lord the thing I seek most is to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life delighting in the Lord's Perfections

and meditating in his Temple for he will conceal me there when troubles come he will hide me in his sanctuary he will place me Out Of Reach on a high Rock then I will hold my head high above my enemies who surround me at his Sanctuary I will offer sacrifices with shouts of Joy singing and praising the Lord with music hear me as I pray oh Lord be merciful and answer me my heart has heard you say come and talk with me and my heart responds Lord I am coming do not turn your back on

me do not reject your servant in Anger you have always been my helper don't leave me now don't abandon me oh god of my salvation even if my father and mother abandon me the Lord will hold me close teach me how to live oh Lord lead me along the right path for my enemies are waiting for me do not let me fall into their hands for they accuse me of things I've never done with every breath they threaten me with violence yet I am confident I will see the Lord's goodness while I am here in

the land of the living wait patiently for the Lord be brave and courageous yes wait patiently for the Lord Psalm 27: 1-14 Proverbs 16:3 commit to the Lord whatever you do and He will establish your plans father in obedience to your word Psalms 16: 8-9 I have set the lord always before me because he is at my right hand I shall not be moved therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices My Flesh also will rest in Hope Isaiah 40: 29-31 he gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak even

youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength they will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint amen dear heavenly father I come before you with gratitude and praise as I begin this new day thank you for the gift of life and for the opportunity to wake up to a brand new morning I Surrender this day Into Your Loving Hands and ask for your guidance and presence in everything that I do

Lord I pray for strength and courage to face any obstacle or trial that may come my way remind me that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me when I feel weak or discouraged let your Holy Spirit uplift and Empower me to persevere father I invite your peace to dwell Within Me guarding my heart heart and mind help me to Cast Away any anxieties or worries and to trust in your faithfulness grant me a heart of gratitude and a spirit of contentment knowing that you are with me and that your plans for me

are good father as I step out into the world today May Your Love Shine through me help me to be attentive to the needs of others and to extend a helping hand wherever I can I commit this day to you Lord and ask that you lead me and guide me every step of the way Jesus looked at them and said with men this is impossible but not With God all things are possible with God Mark chapter 10: 27 to you father I give all the praise honor and glory in Jesus name I pray amen thank

you for watching and see you next time what's your day like if he's not in your day if he's not in your schedule if there's no prayer time if there's no Bible reading if there's no feeding of your spirit if there's nothing that hardly acknowledges God all week long all you are is a trunk Christian you have him in the car in the trunk and you pull him out happy hour every Sunday morning I'm telling you that he will affect your schedule every day there ought to be a prayer place every day there ought to

be time spent in the word did you know that if you read the Bible 15 minutes a day you can read the entire Bible through every year it doesn't take huge amounts of time but it's just scheduling it in and saying you know I must read the Bible and I must pray these are important things if you'll do it if you'll read the word the word will read you and Dusty Bibles lead to dirty lives and if you read this book it'll clean clean you it will cleanse you it will sanctify you it will set

you free it will help you it will strengthen you you may not need that word you read that morning or that night when you go to bed and you open it up it may mean nothing to you you just read it but the next day at about 3:00 when all hell's breaking loose the holy spirit will remind you of the very words you read last night no weapon formed against you shall prosper and suddenly a confidence comes because you've had him in your schedule when you wake up in the morning don't have a prayer list

have a list that says this is what's bothering me today have you ever tried to pray and your mind wanders you know what your mind is wandering to what you really ought to be praying about and your mind is wandering to that anxious thought about money or something and you're trying to be religious and pray these nice prayers you'll either pray or you're worried and your old Worry List is your new prayer list consult the Lord pray about it ask him ask him that's your duty that's your responsibility to ask the Lord about everything before

you buy a house consult the Lord pray about it I don't want anything that he doesn't want me to have I know that what he gives me he will maintain he will take care of I don't want it to become a problem because I didn't consult the Lord that's why it's so important just to maybe at the beginning of the morning spend some time in worship spend some time in your car saying God today I consult the counsel of the Lord and I don't know what I'm going to face but I just ask you to

give me wisdom and I just ask you to make me spiritual today I just ask you to wake up my spirit and my ear to hear because I really don't want to lean on my own understanding but in all my ways I acknowledge you and you will direct my path it Delights God when we stop long enough to say I need guidance from the Lord it Delights him he said I'm your Shepherd and I love it when you ask me to lead you so often we think well Lord I can come and pray about the

big things in life you know I can take care of the little things in life oh no pray about everything in fact when you have your devotional time in the morning and I hope that you do pray about the whole day just take your calendar and just go through the whole day pray about everything and the Lord will give you guidance what do you do when Trouble Comes do you turn to a bottle do you turn to a pill do you turn to screaming do you turn to anger do you turn to depression do you

turn to fear and worry and anxi xiety the real sign that Jesus is first in your life you meet someone who's first it's not that they're exempt from trouble but when Trouble Comes they know who to run to I will lift up my eyes unto the hills from which cometh my help I run and cling to him in trouble my first thought is not the bank my first thought is not the doctor my first thought is not this or that my first thought is Jesus who do you run to in trouble that's a real sign

of whether or not he's first and when he's first he will bless you in ways that will Astound you what if you would decide today to give God your all I mean that's it I'm making the commitment but I'm going all out for God you're either looking at the enemy or you're looking at the Angels you're looking at the problem or you're looking at the promises one thing that we need if we're going to live a Victorious powerful life is the right perspective you have to see what God sees no matter what you're going through

don't get your eyes on the littleness of your problem he's working all things there's a big picture to every trial to every challenge to every adversity we go through there's a big picture he's working all things together for the good to them that are called according to his purpose perspective is important pray every day God show me the big picture show me and help me to keep seeing the big perspective of what you see not just the temporal situation that is that is causing me to be fearful and worried get God's perspective and see God's

perspective if you want victory in your life you've got to constantly pray Lord open my eyes and let me see the best and let me see the good and let me see the bigness of what your plan and purpose is for my life life did you this morning get up and say I am commanded by God to restore my joy to rejoice when you come to a place in your life where you face important decisions you can't afford to use your intellect alone we're supposed to be guided by the Holy Spirit we are supposed to

seek the counsel of the Lord on everything you have to learn to ask before you act you have to learn to ask before you get in Covenant with people before you start businesses before you do things and then you just expect and hope that God will back you up if you're picking a spouse to marry you better consult the Lord you better ask the Lord's counsel should I take that job you better ask the counsel of the Lord and this sounds so silly but I'm amazed at how prayerless we become I'm amazed at how many

even in my life how many decisions I make and I haven't even asked the counsel of the Lord the Lord said you can't afford to be making intellectual decisions because you think you know everything I need you I wait on you to wait on me you don't just rely on your intellect even though God gives us intellect to make wise decisions but it's kind of ego and it's kind of Pride to not pray about it pray about it pray about it if you will seek his counsel God already has a solution if you will seek

his counsel God already has a procedure there's an unseen hand that wants to guide Our Lives I wonder if most of the problems that we Face could not be solved and we wouldn't get in them but we did not consult the Lord if you've got a prayer place if you don't have one get one because when you go there that is Holy Ground God knows that your very prayer in other words you're saying this is so important that I'm coming and I'm waiting I'm not telling you what to do nor am I asking you for

anything I'm waiting on [Music] you when we stop working God starts working when we stop working God starts working when we stop working God starts working when you stop and you say here I am I'm wrestling with a lot of stuff I really need wisdom really need you to do your will I don't even know what path I need to take but I'm waiting on you I wonder if we would take time if it would never be said of us from this point tonight they sought not the counsil of the Lord I wonder how many

how many blessings we would step into just by learning to wait on the Lord and spend time in his presence Luke 4:1 17-19 says and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him he unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written the spirit of the Lord is upon on me because he has anointed me to Proclaim good news to the poor he has sent me to Proclaim Liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind to set at Liberty those who are oppressed to proclaim the year of the

Lord's favor now I want you to notice what Jesus Christ brings good news to the poor this is what leads us to Salvation he comes to Proclaim Liberty to the captives this is to pardon our sins and set us free from a guilty verdict he also comes to set at Liberty those who are oppressed this is to give us true and Lasting freedom from every unclean Spirit furthermore when Jesus Christ comes into your life he brings peace Colossians 3:1 15 says and Let the Peace of Christ rule in your hearts to which indeed you were

called in one body and be thankful now because of the heavy price that was paid on the cross we don't have to labor for our own salvation we don't have to earn it we don't have to save up for it all we need to do is to receive Jesus Christ it's to receive him in our hearts then and only then can peace rule our minds and finally I'd like to tell you that Jesus Christ brings love 1 John 4:1 16 says so we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for

us God is love and whoever abides in love abides in God and God abides in him it was love that sent Jesus Christ to the cross and it's because of love that we have access to grace and mercy and eternal life through Jesus Christ if you have a personal relationship with Jesus you have access to all these things you have access to peace Beyond understand standing you've got access to freedom and liberty when Jesus comes into your life there is no more oppression there is no more captivity there is only salvation there is life and

there is freedom from sin now let us pray Heavenly Father you are the author of all things that are good everything everything that is pure everything that is righteous is you Lord Jesus Wherever You Are there is peace there is Joy there is life we invite you Lord to come into our hearts and into our homes because where your presence is there can be no captivity there can be no oppression there is only Liberty and freedom in you thank you Father because you freely offered yourself to die on a cross All Because You Loved Us

and now we praise you Lord because all authority has been given to you whatever you say will come to pass whenever you enter our lives blessings cannot help but flow from you you are the object of our affection you demand our attention and our reverence and so we bow down to you none can stand against your will Lord Jesus you are able to accomplish all that you set out to do your power and your goodness cannot be questioned Psalm chap 16:1 says you make known to me the path of life in your presence there is

fullness of joy at your right hand are Pleasures forever more father we invite your presence to invade our lives your presence is what my soul Longs for your presence is the very thing that our lives need for so long this world has rejected you and turned away from you and put their faith in worthless things however we as your children stand on your word which says in Ephesians 2: 19 to 21 so then you are no longer strangers and Aliens but you are fellow citizens with the Saints and members of the household of God built

on the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets Christ Jesus himself being the Cornerstone in whom the whole structure being joined together grows into a holy Temple in the Lord Lord Jesus you are the Chief Cornerstone of our lives and we worship you and choose to obey you alone come into our lives come into our homes come into our minds and bring restoration and peace and love in each of our hearts Lord displace every unclean thought drive out every cloud of Darkness with your radiant light come and sweep our lives in a mighty way cast out

all fear and every negative pattern of thinking at your voice demons tremble and flee because you hold all authority father move into our homes bring peace and unity into our families heal every heart that is Longing For Love Today Lord Jesus we need you there is power in your name when you speak chaos turns into order darkness turns into light evil is conquered and righteousness prevails in your presence nothing Unholy can remain Lord I pray that you may do a new thing in our lives and even now you stand at the door of our hearts

and knock so help us to answer your call and to soften our hearts may you show up in a mighty way exercise your Sovereign rule over every part of my life whatever your will is may I be a servant that is available for your use may your glory be known to us in our families and Even in our communities awaken our spirits to tap into the wonderful power of the Holy Spirit within us father make us aware of your presence daily and may the Holy Spirit speak to us may he counsel and guide us each

and every day I bless your holy name and I thank you for listening to this prayer in Jesus name I pray amen
