Waking Up Prayer

Waking up takes time. It takes time to adjust from sleeping to being wide awake, especially if you have not slept well, and if you just wanted to sleep a little bit longer.

As you wake up, it’s easier if you give yourself time to get ready. You don’t feel rushed when you know that you have time to enjoy your coffee, have some breakfast, and to think about what you need to do to get ready for your day.

So, may you be encouraged with these scriptures as you wake up and start your day:

Let me hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For I trust in You. Teach me the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You. (Psalm 143:8)

It is because of the Lord’s lovingkindnesses that we are not consumed because His [tender] compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great and beyond measure is Your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

But as for me, I will sing of Your mighty strength and power; Yes, I will sing joyfully of Your lovingkindness in the morning; For You have been my stronghold and a refuge in the day of my distress. (Psalm 59:16)

O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited [expectantly] for You. Be the arm of Your servants every morning [that is, their strength and their defense], Our salvation also in the time of trouble. (Isaiah 33:2)

Prayer:

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your lovingkindness. You are always faithful to us, so our souls can rest in your amazing love, and we can be reassured of your unending grace. Help us to trust in you, and to lean on you, as you lead us throughout this day. Amen.
