The Morning Prayer
Wednesday, November 8, 2023

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
John 5:24 (NIV)

Gracious and Eternal Father, we arise this day with gratitude in our hearts, drawing inspiration from Your word in John 5:24. Thank you for the assurance that when we truly listen to Your voice and believe in Him who sent You, we are granted eternal life. Let us not fall into judgment, but instead be uplifted from death to life.

May this new day serve as a reminder of Your unwavering promise, O Lord. As the sun breaks forth, breaking the darkness of night, may Your light break forth in our lives, dispelling our doubts and fears.

Guide our steps, O Merciful One, that we might walk in the truth of Your word, conscious of the life You have promised. Strengthen our faith, and help us to trust, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.

Open our ears to Your gentle whisper throughout this day. Help us to discern Your voice amidst the cacophony of the world, so that we might always remain in Your eternal embrace.

Let our actions, words, and thoughts reflect the transformative power of Your love and grace. As we interact with others, may we be instruments of Your peace, conduits of Your truth, and reflections of Your love.

Thank you for the hope and assurance that, in You, death is not the end, but a doorway to everlasting life. Encourage our hearts to remain steadfast, knowing that in You, every moment is infused with purpose, and every challenge can be overcome.

In the powerful name of Jesus, our Savior, we pray, Amen.

May this prayer inspire and uplift you as you start your day.
