Short Daily Prayers
To help you get through the day, we’ve compiled a list of seven brief prayers:
- A Morning Prayer to God as You Open Your Eyes
Because “the Lord is my shepherd,” I have everything I could possibly want (Psalm 23:1).
Greetings, Almighty! I appreciate that you continually demonstrate your steadfastness to me by performing such seemingly simple acts as rotating the earth and providing us with illumination. To replace “Good God, it’s morning already” with “Good morning to a glorious new day,” I need your help.
Every morning, even if I don’t feel like it or have much to look forward to, I have the opportunity to remember that you are greater than any day on my calendar. I value this list more than any of my other lists. Unmatched by any material good.
Help me to rise in love with you regardless of the weather today and whether or not I can even see the sun shining. Every morning without fail, I am amazed by the beauty of the sunrise. I will be joyful and thankful today because you created it. Amen.
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness,” reads the second prayer in “A Prayer to Cleanse Me, Lord” (1 John 1:9).
Water that is safe to drink is a blessing from the Lord. Plus, you are the source of my very existence. Will you wash away today’s emotional and mental grime while I’m in the shower or getting ready?
Please forgive me for any harm I may have caused or any false gods I may have worshiped in your place. Tear down my false beliefs and show me the areas that need your healing. Help me realize that I need to forgive or make amends.
Rinse me clean of the feelings that prevent me from connecting with you and others. Today, I ask that you renew my mind and heart and show me your way. The power of your name be praised.
- Asking God to Provide Today
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that you may have an abundance of everything you need at all times and abound in every good work (2 Cor. 9:8).
God, I know that everything I come into contact with, purchase, create, eat, or experience today is a gift from You. What I eat every day is thanks to you. Simply being yourself is enough.
To this day, I recognize my home, loved ones, friends, job, food, health, and even my current trials as gifts from God. Please guide my decisions today in regards to my career, finances, family, and friends. Urge me to be responsible with your gifts and to give to those in need.
Please pay attention to my silent supplications and show me that you are my provider. Please help me find the right words of thanksgiving so that I can be an example to others. Amen.
- A Morning Prayer for Endless Energy “…but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. With their newfound freedom, “they will soar on wings like eagles…” For the full context, see Isaiah 40:31.
My dad, you know exactly when my strength starts to wane during the day. One such occasion is the present. I’m anxious, overworked, and exhausted. I had planned to accomplish “so much” today, but I’ve only managed a fraction of that. Can I rely on you to help me?
When I take a deep breath or shift my body into a more energizing position, I am inviting you to permeate every part of me.
I give in to my exhaustion, trusting that your strength is greater even in my frailty. Lord, lift me up and give me the strength to complete or rearrange the tasks you have set before me. In the name of Jesus, amen.
A Grateful Prayer for the End of the Day
If you take my yoke and follow my teachings—I am gentle and lowly in spirit—you will find rest for your souls (Matthew 11:28).
We praise God for the arrival of night. What a miraculous feat of timing it is that the sun and moon follow your instructions. Please know how much I appreciate the lightness of your yoke and the fact that you don’t expect me to work nonstop. You’ve helped tremendously by establishing routines.
Knowing that you are not impressed by me, I can relax as you cover my little corner of the world in a blanket of darkness and stars. And you hope I’ll treat myself kindly.
I appreciate having the time and space to do some soul-nourishing work, like cooking or making art. Amen.
6: A Prayer of Preparation for the Future
Arise, my help comes from God; the Lord sustains my life (Psalm 54:4).
God, I am so relieved to know that no matter how badly my plans may fail, you will use them for good. In order to make tomorrow go as smoothly as possible, please let me know what I need to do tonight.
Get my thoughts in order so I can make a plan of action or stock up on necessities that will put me in a state of readiness to serve and recovery. Help me make wise decisions as I make use of the resources you provide each day. In the name of Jesus, amen.
- A Beseeching for Restful Slumber
“I will rest easy and sleep soundly, for you alone, LORD, make my dwelling secure” (Psalm 4:8).
Thank you, Lord, for keeping vigil over me throughout the day, evening, and night. You are my safe haven during the workweek and for the rest of my life. What a gift it is to know that I can put my trust in you for the duration of today and that you will be there for me tomorrow and every day after that.
I’m appreciative of the tiniest evidences of your great goodness, faithfulness, and mercy that I’ve seen today.
Calm my racing heart and frantic mind. As surely as the sun will rise again, I believe you can make my home a secure place for me to stay. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

In Search of Direction and Courage
Lord God, I pray to you today for your wisdom and assistance. I’m in a bind and could use some help staying on the straight and narrow.

A Call for God’s Intervention
God, strengthen our faith so that we may live a life of hope. Forgive us if we fail to look to You and recognize Your infinite power. Because of your boundless power, glory, greatness, and grandeur. God, please don’t let us get arrogant about our abilities. Make us confident in Your might, please. As we pray now, may we remember to pray as we should. God, please open our eyes to the fact that we are addressing You as the ruler and master of the entire cosmos. If we pray too little, may it not be because we underestimate You. Help us to remember Your omnipotence as we ask for and give to others.
“As much as we’d like to serve others, we don’t want to do so based on our own resources. God, please pardon us for this sinful propensity. Lord, give us the faith to rely on You. Assist us in our quest to find You. Assist our faith in You, please. Please, God, increase our faith. Lord, make it possible for us to put our faith in Your ability to do the seemingly impossible. I’m assuming that at this very moment, we’re all thinking about and praying for the same sorts of things. That we know it won’t happen unless You make it happen. God, we know that You can make this happen. We know that you have the ability to grant our requests, and we ask that you use that power to bring glory to yourself. Please have such faith in us.” We ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen. (Taken from the book, “Pray the Word, Back to the Bible”)
Lord, I am exhausted, and I need You. A little bit of your time would go a long way in helping me sort through everything going on in my head, my heart, and my schedule. For giving me the fortitude to carry on, I am eternally grateful. Inspire me today and guide me. In the name of Jesus, Amen. – Girlfriends in God, by Gwen Smith
as a Quest for Knowledge and Understanding
Lord, I appreciate you hearing my prayers when I need you the most. It blows my mind that the Creator of the Universe would stop everything to hear me out. God, there are things going on right now that I just don’t get. I’m feeling vulnerable, helpless, and scared because of some of these things. I trust that you are the Lord even in this. I put my faith in You, Lord, and know that You will handle this situation well. Please give me the fortitude and discernment I need to see this through and respond in a way that honors your name. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
You Are Powerful When I Am Weak.
Jesus, You are my fortress and my strength. In my frailty, I acknowledge that Your strength is made perfect. You’re one of a kind, and nobody else compares to you. You have clothed me in the robes of Your majesty and righteousness; I am grateful. Because of You, I have all I need. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Inspiration for Today, Arlene Pellicane

Christ’s Shackle
We come to you, Jesus. As we put our trust in You, we experience peace. You are essential to us.

Simply put, to enjoy the satisfaction that comes from doing what God asks. Lord, we can’t do this Christian life without You and the power of Christ working in and through us. We are currently lacking the resources to complete this task independently. We were unable to complete this task yesterday, and we will not be able to complete it tomorrow or today. We beg of you, please come to our aid.

A Request for God’s Power
My God, Lord, we acknowledge the authority of your Word and the influence of your Spirit in our lives. For greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world, and for this we give thanks. We ask that you destroy every evil plot, lie, and slander spoken against us. We give thanks that you are a God of infinite power, love, and grace. When no one else will, we know we can count on you to take action. We appreciate you protecting us and being our refuge and strength. Thanks for fighting for us today; we appreciate how you turn our weakness into strength. For the glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom, Amen. and Debbie McDaniel
To Maintain Steadfast Strength
Don’t worry about the future because the eternal Father who looks out for you today will do so again tomorrow and every day. Either He will protect you from pain, or He will give you the fortitude to persevere through it. Don’t worry about anything. Just keep repeating to yourself, “The Lord is my strength and my shield,” and you won’t have time for worrying thoughts or imaginations. As a result of putting my faith in Him, He has come to my aid. He lives inside of me, and I live inside of Him.
