Thank You, God! Morning Prayer to Start Your Day | Billy Graham | Faith Motivation

No matter what yesterday may have held, today marks a new beginning, a clean slate, a renewed opportunity to walk in the light of God's love. You woke up this morning for a divine purpose because God's work in your life is not yet complete. Maybe recent days have felt overwhelming.

Maybe you've been carrying invisible burdens, fighting silent battles, wondering when things will finally shift. But listen closely. God has not overlooked you.

His promises still stand firm. His love is still sustaining you. And as you step into this sacred moment of prayer, something is beginning to shift.

God is moving on your behalf. Even when it's hidden from your view, he's opening unseen doors, clearing paths, and arranging breakthroughs. The same God who created the stars, who stills the storm, who renews the weary.

He is with you right now. So take a slow, deep breath. Release the fear, the doubt, the stress.

This moment is holy. This prayer is more than words. It's a declaration of faith.

And as we raise our voices in thanksgiving, prepare your heart for change because gratitude invites his presence. Praise unlocks his power. Belief welcomes the miraculous.

Now, I ask you to do something bold and faithful and type, "Thank you, God," in the comments. Like this video as an act of faith and share it with someone who needs hope today because when we join in prayer, heaven responds. Are you ready?

Let us pray together. Heavenly Father, Almighty and eternal God, I come before you this morning with a heart overflowing with gratitude. Before I present any requests, before I speak a single need, I want to pause and say thank you you.

Thank you for a brand new day. Thank you for the breath in my lungs, for the strength in my body, for the chance to begin again. Thank you for the sunrise I woke to see, for the grace to walk forward.

For another moment to live in your purpose. This day was never guaranteed. This breath was never owed.

It is a gift and I receive it with a humble heart. Lord, you are good. You are faithful.

You are constant. When the world shifts, when situations rattle my peace, when life becomes uncertain, you remain unchanging. You are my anchor, my refuge, my unshakable tower.

In you, I find my foundation. In you, I discover hope. In you, I experience peace that transcends understanding.

Father, I acknowledge my complete dependence on you. Without your grace, I am lost. Without your mercy, I cannot stand.

Each breath I draw is evidence of your goodness. Each step I take is guided by your hand. I give this day to you, Lord.

Lead me, guide me, shape my thoughts, steady my heart, and let your will unfold in my life. There are moments, Lord, when my faith feels fragile. When fear tries to whisper lies into my soul.

When doubt seeks to take root. When anxiety clouds my spirit. But today, I make the decision to stand firm on your promises.

Your word assures me that you will never abandon me nor turn away. Your truth proclaims that no weapon formed against me will succeed. Your scriptures remind me that I am more than a conqueror through Christ who gives me strength.

So today I choose faith instead of fear. I choose to believe that you are aligning all things for my good. Even in seasons of waiting, through every challenge, and even when the path is unclear, I trust you, Lord.

I believe that you are crafting a story far greater than what my eyes can see. I hold on to the truth that your plans for me are fuller purpose. I trust that every delay, every closed door, every setback is only preparing me for something far better.

Father, I lift every burden into your hand. You know the heavy weights I carry in my heart. You see the battles I never voice.

You know the tears that fall in secret, the prayers whispered in the quiet darkness. I lay them all before you. I let go of the stress and the anxiety.

I surrender every care and concern to you. You are my provider, my healer, my guide through every storm. I don't need to solve everything on my own because you are sovereign over all things.

Lord, I invite your presence into every moment of my day. Be in my thoughts so that I may dwell on what is good, noble, and true. Be in my words so that I speak life, not harm.

Be in my actions so that I reflect your love to those around me. Teach me to walk in compassion, in patience, in grace. Let my life shine as a living witness to your faithfulness.

Father, thank you for the hidden battles you've already fought for me. for the dangers you've shielded me from, the attacks you've blocked, the doors you've closed because they were not part of your plan. You are always at work even when I can't see it.

You are always moving even when I don't feel it. And for that, I give you praise. Thank you, Lord, for the people in my life.

For the family you've placed around me, for the friends who have stayed by my side, for the strangers whose kindness came when I needed it most. Bless them, Lord. Surround them with your favor.

Provide for them abundantly. Meet them in their deepest need. And for those who have hurt me, those who have caused me pain, I release them into your hand.

Teach me how to love the way you love, to forgive as you have forgiven, to extend grace as freely as you've given it to me. God, I know you are the God of wonders. Nothing is too great for you.

Nothing is beyond your power. So today, I stand in unwavering faith, believing for breakthroughs. I ask for healing in bodies, restoration in relationships, and for doors to open where none seem to exist.

I declare that today will overflow with divine moments, unexpected blessings, and supernatural favor. Father, let this day be set apart. Let it be marked by your nearness, your peace, and your mighty hand at work.

Keep my heart aligned with your truth. Let my spirit remain tender to your guidance. Let my life be a vessel that reflects your glory.

I open my heart wider today. Lord, make room in me for more of you, for more of your insight, more of your strength, and more of your unwavering love. Saturate me with a hunger for your presence, a deep craving for your righteousness, a longing only you can fulfill.

This world may offer passing pleasures, momentary happiness. But you alone, oh Lord, are the wellspring of everlasting joy. I don't want to be filled with what fades away.

I want to be filled with you, Lord. Strip away anything within me that resists your will. If pride lingers in my heart, humble me.

If unforgiveness takes root, soften me. If fear has settled in, replace it with bold faith. If I've been relying on my own strength, teach me to lean fully on you.

I don't want to make choices from a place of impatience or anxiety. I want to follow your spirit's leading. Holy Spirit, guide my steps this day.

Be the voice of wisdom when I'm uncertain. Be the gentle pull when I need to turn from distractions. Be the conviction when I'm tempted to drift.

Be the comfort when the weight of life feels too much. Walk beside me, Lord. Speak to my soul.

Help me to hear you more clearly. Help me to know you more intimately. Help me to trust you more fully.

Lord, I lift my dreams and desires before you. You see every silent hope hidden deep in my heart. The prayers I whisper without words.

The things I long for but hesitate to speak aloud. The desires I carry even when I struggle to believe they'll ever come true. But you are the God of the impossible.

You are the one who makes rivers in dry places, who brings beauty out of ashes, who transforms sorrow into celebration. So today, I place every dream, every goal, every yearning into your hands. I trust in your timing.

I trust in your design. I trust that what you have prepared for me far surpasses anything I could envision. Father, when I grow weary, remind me that your strength is perfected in my weakness.

When I feel a drift, remind me that you are the lamp to my path. When I doubt my worth, remind me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. When loneliness creeps in, remind me that you never leave.

When anxiety rises, remind me that you hold my future in your hands. I don't have to fear what's ahead because you walk before me. I don't have to bear the weight of tomorrow because you've already made a way.

And Lord, I bring before you not only my life, but the lives of those around me, my family, my friends, my loved ones. Pour out your blessings upon them in abundance. Surround them with your divine protection.

Uphold them in their struggles. Bring comfort to their pain. Restore what is broken within them.

Drw their hearts closer to you, Lord, so they may experience the peace and joy that only you can provide. Father, I understand that today won't be without imperfections. There may be obstacles.

There may be delays. There may be moments that test my patience, but I declare now with confidence that no matter what comes my way. I will cling to my faith.

I will not be moved by my circumstances. I will not let the enemy rob me of my joy. I will not give fear a foothold in my heart because you are with me and you are greater than anything that stands against me.

Lord, when doubt creeps in, remind me of the victories you've already given. You've carried me through before, and I trust you will carry me through again. You've shown yourself faithful in my past, and you will be faithful in the days ahead.

I will not fear the unknown because I trust the one who holds all things in his hands. I lift my hands in surrender. I raise my heart in worship.

I open my mouth in thanksgiving. For you alone are worthy, Lord. You are powerful.

You are holy. You are sovereign over all. There is none like you.

No name higher than yours. No strength greater than your might. You reign forever and I place my trust in you.

I quiet my soul before you, Lord. In the calm of this moment, I acknowledge your nearness. You are present.

You are close. You are not a faroff God watching from a distance. You are the God who walks beside me, who holds me in your arms, who surrounds me with everlasting love.

Father, I thank you for the many blessings I too often overlook. The small yet extraordinary gifts. Each breath I take, the steady beat of my heart, the warmth of the sunlight, the roof over my head, the food on my table.

These are not insignificant. They are daily reminders of your care, evidence of your unwavering faithfulness. Even when life feels heavy, even when challenges arise, I still have countless reasons to praise you.

Lord, open my eyes today. Help me recognize your presence in everything in the wonder of your creation, in the kindness of a stranger, in the laughter of someone I love, and in the still moments of quiet rest. Let me never take these gifts lightly, but instead let my heart overflow with thanksgiving.

Father, I admit there are times when I focus more on what I lack than on what I've been given. At times, I dwell on my fears more than your promises. I allow worry to speak louder than faith.

But today, I make a new choice. Today I choose to fix my eyes on you. You are my provider.

You are my source. You are my all in all. When I feel weak, you become my strength.

When I lack direction, you are my wisdom. When I am hurting, you are my healer. And when I feel alone, you are the friend who never walks away.

There is no place I could ever go where your love cannot find me. There is no moment so dark that your light cannot break through. Lord, I release my worries into your hands.

The restless thoughts that steal my sleep, the weight I carry each day, the uncertainty that leaves me unsettled, I lay them all at your feet. Your word tells me not to be anxious about anything, but in every circumstance by prayer and petition with thanksgiving to bring my requests before you. So here I am, Lord, offering everything to you.

Take the burdens and fade them for your peace. Take the doubts and replace them with unwavering faith. Take my fears and fill me with bold confidence in who you are.

Father, I know you have a purpose for my life, one far greater than any plan I could ever design. And though I don't always comprehend the road you're guiding me along, I trust that it is the right one. You see what I cannot yet see.

You understand what I do not know. You are arranging things for me that are beyond what I could ever imagine. So today, I choose to walk by faith, not by what I see.

I choose to believe that every delay, every detour, and every closed door is part of your perfect design. I refuse to be discouraged when things don't unfold the way I expected because I know your ways are higher, your plans are better, and they always work for my good. Lord, I pray for protection over my mind today.

Let no negative thought take root. Do not allow the lies of the enemy to take hold. Fill my thoughts with truth, with hope, with calm assurance.

Shield my heart from bitterness, from resentment, from anything that would pull me away from your presence. Teach me to love like you love, to forgive as you forgive, to show grace as freely as you've given it to me. Let my words speak life and build up those around me.

Let my actions be a reflection of your kindness. Let my heart become a dwelling place so filled with your love that it naturally overflows into the lives of others. Father, I ask for wisdom today.

Wisdom to choose wisely, to discern what is truly from you and what is not. Grant me the wisdom to live in step with your will. I don't want to lean on my own logic or instincts.

I want to be led by your spirit. Speak to me, Lord. direct my path.

Show me the way forward. I pray for divine favor today that doors would open where I least expect. That opportunities would arise that I could never create on my own.

That you would bring the right people into my life to lead me toward greater purpose. I believe Lord that even now you are working behind the scenes arranging, preparing, aligning all things for my good. Lord, I understand that today may come with challenges.

There may be moments of tension, moments of hardship, and moments when I'm tempted to fall back into worry or stress. But when those moments arise, Lord, remind me to turn back to you. Remind me that you are my safe place.

You are my protector. You are my constant help in every time of need. When I come up against challenges, give me strength to endure.

When I experience disappointment, grant me clarity. When I feel rejected, remind me that I am already accepted and cherished by you. Let nothing take away my joy today.

Let nothing disturb my inner peace. Let nothing make me forget that I am your child, deeply loved, completely known, and safely held in your hands. Father, I lift up a prayer for healing today.

healing for my heart, healing for my thoughts, and healing for my physical body. I also pray for those around me who are in pain, those suffering illness, those mourning loss, and those who are fighting hidden battles no one else see. Lord, reach them.

Strengthen them. Let them know they are never alone. Pour your peace into their hearts, your healing into their bodies, and your comfort into their souls.

You are Jehovah Rafa, the God who brings healing. You are Jehovah Gyra, the God who provides every need. Shalom, the God of perfect peace.

There is nothing beyond your power. No illness you cannot cure, no situation you cannot transform, no broken heart you cannot restore. So I place every need in your hands, fully believing that you are able.

And Lord, I thank you in advance for what you are about to do. I thank you for the breakthroughs that are on the way. For the miracles already taking shape, for the victories already secured in the heavenly realm.

I may not see it yet, but I hold fast to your promise. I may not feel it yet, but I know you are at work because you are faithful and your word never fails. Lord, though I may finish this prayer, my worship continues.

My gratitude remains. My faith is not ending because you, oh Lord, are everlasting. And so my trust in you stays firm.

Thank you, Father, for hearing my voice. Thank you for drawing close. Thank you for receiving every word, even those I couldn't speak out loud.

You see the depths of my heart. You know every desire. You understand each struggle.

And even when my lips fall silent, you still know what my soul is crying out for. I thank you not only for what I can see with my eyes, but also for what remains hidden. For the battles you fought for me, for the doors you've closed to shield me, for the moments you said not yet, because something greater was in the making.

For every valley you walked me through, knowing a mountaintop was waiting just ahead. I thank you for the lessons found in hardship. For the strength built through trials, and for the wisdom discovered in seasons of because every single thing, every joy, every obstacle, every moment is woven into your perfect design.

I may not always grasp the reason, but I choose to trust. And even if today doesn't unfold as I had hoped, even if disappointment comes, even if my prayers don't seem to be answered right away, I will still say, "Thank you, Lord. " Because my faith doesn't depend on what I see.

It's grounded in who you are. You are good. You are faithful.

and you are always worthy of my praise regardless of circumstances. So today I step forward with boldness, not with confidence in my own strength, but with complete confidence in you. I know I don't journey alone.

I know you walk ahead of me, beside me, and behind me. I am surrounded. I am shielded.

I am deeply loved. I declare that this day is blessed. This day is covered in your favor.

This day is filled with divine appointments, unexpected blessings, and supernatural peace. And now, Lord, I release everything into your hands. My worries, my hopes, my fears, and my future, all of it belongs to you.

I will walk by faith, not by what I see. I will trust in your goodness. I will worship you not only with my voice but with how I live.
