10 Bible Verses To Start Your Day With
Psalm 143:8-10:
Morning Prayer
Mornings are an incredibly special part of our day. They are
specially important because they signify the beginning of
something new, a new day to love God greatly and do better.
While the mundane world speaks of many “morning rituals”
that have no real meaning, the only real morning “ritual” is
the one practiced by our beautiful Lord Jesus himself:
Morning prayer.
That is because morning prayer can make all the difference.
It is the most special time of day to pray, because it means
that we are making God a priority and giving Him the very
first hours of our precious day.
By praying any of these Bible verses, you are bound to be
prepared to face anything that your day may throw at you,
any test, trial, and come out in one piece and glorifying God:
Let’s discover those delightful Bible
verses that are amazing for morning
prayer:
1.  Psalm 63:1
YOU, GOD, ARE MY GOD,
PSALM 63:1-3: “
    EARNESTLY I SEEK YOU;
I THIRST FOR YOU,
    MY WHOLE BEING LONGS FOR YOU,
IN A DRY AND PARCHED LAND
    WHERE THERE IS NO WATER.
2 
I HAVE SEEN YOU IN THE SANCTUARY
AND BEHELD YOUR POWER AND YOUR GLORY.
3 
BECAUSE YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE,
MY LIPS WILL GLORIFY YOU”.
This is the NIV translation, but other translations of this
Bible verse say: “Very early in the morning I will seek you”.
David was a holy man greatly loved by God and in this Psalm
he’s speaking about a need all human beings have to connect
with God, and this need is so important we all need to seek
Him first thing in the morning.
With this Psalm you can pray:
“Dear Lord I understand the need my spirit has to seek you in
the morning and just like David said, your love is better than
life”. I come to worship you this morning and to ask that you
satisfy me with your unfailing love today, which is more
important than having breakfast this morning”. Amen
2. Psalm 127:1-2:
UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS THE HOUSE,
PSALM 127: 1-2: “
THE BUILDERS LABOR IN VAIN.
UNLESS THE LORD WATCHES OVER THE CITY,
THE GUARDS STAND WATCH IN VAIN.
2 
IN VAIN YOU RISE EARLY
AND STAY UP LATE,
TOILING FOR FOOD TO EAT—
FOR HE GRANTS SLEEP TO THOSE HE LOVES”.
With this Psalm you can pray:
“Dear Lord, everything I do in this day, whether it is at work,
school, at home or anywhere else is in vain unless you’re holy
presence is with me. Help me today to be holy so I can be
worthy of your presence”. Amen
3. Hosea 6:3:
LET US ACKNOWLEDGE THE LORD;
HOSEA 6:3: “
LET US PRESS ON TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM.
AS SURELY AS THE SUN RISES,
HE WILL APPEAR;
HE WILL COME TO US LIKE THE WINTER RAINS,
LIKE THE SPRING RAINS THAT WATER THE
EARTH.”
With this beautiful Scripture from Hosea, you can pray:
“Dear Lord, just like the prophet Hosea said, as sure as the
sun rises, you will appear. I will not fear anything this day
may bring in my life, because you’ll be with me since the very
beginning of the day, just like you promised”.
4. Psalm 5:3:
3“
IN THE MORNING, LORD, YOU HEAR MY VOICE;
IN THE MORNING I LAY MY REQUESTS BEFORE
YOU
AND WAIT EXPECTANTLY”.
This is an incredible Psalm that again states the importance
of praying in the morning. This Psalm is also a revelation of
something not many people know: that God answers and
hears morning prayer more than any other type of prayer.
With this Psalm you can pray: “Dear Lord I make it a priority
to rise up very early in the morning to seek your holy face,
because I know you love when we commit the very first hours
of our day to you.
“Whether it is at 4:00 a.m. or 5:00 a.m I will rise up early to
pray and fervently lay my request before you and wait
expectantly for your glorious answer, just like David said”.
5.
LET THE MORNING BRING ME WORD OF
  PSALM 143: 8-10: “
YOUR UNFAILING LOVE,
FOR I HAVE PUT MY TRUST IN YOU.
SHOW ME THE WAY I SHOULD GO,
FOR TO YOU I ENTRUST MY LIFE.
9 
RESCUE ME FROM MY ENEMIES, LORD,
FOR I HIDE MYSELF IN YOU.
10 
TEACH ME TO DO YOUR WILL,
FOR YOU ARE MY GOD;
MAY YOUR GOOD SPIRIT
LEAD ME ON LEVEL GROUND”.
This beautiful Psalm is similar to the ones above, but slightly
different as well: King David is asking for protection, and
affirming his trust in God.
With this Psalm you can pray: “Dear Lord I put my trust in
you, and in this new day not only will I not fear anything, but
I will trust you with all I am as well, just like your servant
David knew how to do”.
6. Proverbs 4:18-19:
THE PATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS IS LIKE
PROVERBS 4:18-19: “
THE MORNING SUN,
SHINING EVER BRIGHTER TILL THE FULL LIGHT
OF DAY.
19 
BUT THE WAY OF THE WICKED IS LIKE DEEP
DARKNESS;
THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT MAKES THEM
STUMBLE”.
This is an amazing Bible verse to pray in the morning,
because it’s an amazing symbol of how Christian life is. With
this beautiful proverb, you can pray:
“Dear Lord, in this new day I’m beginning, just like other
Scriptures state, I know you’re with me, I know I can put my
trust in you, and I ask you straighten my path today and that
you help my faults and mistakes be better over time, like the
morning sun that shines ever brighter until the full light of
day”.
7. Lamentations 3:22-23:
BECAUSE OF THE LORD’S GREAT
LAMENTATIONS 3:22-23: “
LOVE WE ARE NOT CONSUMED,
FOR HIS COMPASSIONS NEVER FAIL.
23 
THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING;
GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS”.
Other translations of this amazing Bible verse state, “his
mercies begin afresh every morning”.
If you sinned yesterday, today is your chance to make it right.
8. Psalm 30:5:
WEEPING MAY STAY FOR THE NIGHT,
PSALM 30:5: “
BUT REJOICING COMES IN THE MORNING”.
If you’re going through something difficult in your life, then
this Psalm is specifically for you.
With this Psalm that has a very deep meaning, you can pray:
“Lord I know I have been going through a bad time, but I
trust what you’re in control and what you’re doing in my life
will only benefit me in the long run.
“I begin this day trusting that everything will be alright
regardless of what happens because you’re faithful”. Amen
9. Ecclesiastes 11:6:
ECCLESIASTES 11:6: “
PLANT YOUR SEED IN THE MORNING
AND KEEP BUSY ALL AFTERNOON, FOR YOU DON’T
KNOW IF PROFIT WILL COME FROM ONE ACTIVITY
OR ANOTHER—OR MAYBE BOTH”. (NLT)
With this Bible verse from Ecclesiastes you can pray:
“Faithful Lord, I commit everything I do to you today, bless
all my activities on school or work so that they may produce
amazing results for your glory today”.
10. Matthew 28:20:
MATTHEW 28:20: “
TEACH THESE NEW DISCIPLES TO OBEY
ALL THE COMMANDS I HAVE GIVEN YOU. AND BE
SURE OF THIS: I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO
THE END OF THE AGE.”
In here our Lord emphasizes how He’ll be with us every
single day of our lives. Other translations state “until the end
of the world”.
Similar to the Scripture in Hosea 6:3, this last Scripture is
perfect to finish your morning prayer by affirming:
“Beautiful Lord, thank you for affirming several times in
Scripture how you will always be with me. I thank you for
your specific promise of being with me everyday until the
world ends,
and in this new day I will do my best to be a great disciple of
you and make new disciples for you as well, by obeying all of
your commandments myself and teaching them to others by
example as well”.
Your mornings will never be the same again. When you begin
your day by praying and proclaiming the faithfulness of God
then you have an advantage over your day that no one else
has.
