before we pray let's listen to God's word and then we'll pray together in the gospel of Mark 1:35 says very early in the morning while it was still dark Jesus got up left the house and went to a solitary place where he prayed even Jesus the son of God understood the need for private prayer especially in the morning he sought Solitude in the wilderness for 40 days fasting and praying later he prayed alone in the Garden of Gethsemane before his crucifixion Jesus gave us a clear example of the importance of spending time alone with God
and this is something we should follow when you make time for God first thing in the morning He blesses the rest of your day you'll find that you move through the day with a sense of Peace strength and focus but if you push prayer aside thinking I'll pray later you often never get to it the day takes over and soon you realize that you haven't spent any real time with God days can go by and before you know it you're filled with worldly thoughts instead of his word that's when you need to be careful because
you're letting the world into your heart instead of Allowing God to fill you up Colossians 3: 1 and 2 reminds us since then you have been raised with Christ set your hearts on things above where Christ is set your minds on things above not on Earthly things Jesus calls you to seek his kingdom first and that begins with how you start your day if you begin your day in prayer with your heart focused on God you open yourself to bearing fruit for his kingdom now let's pray together dear Lord I give this day completely into
your hands you are the one who holds my future and I trust you with every detail of my life as I begin this day I humbly ask for your grace to surround me I know that your grace is a gift something I don't deserve but you freely give because of your deep love for me fill my heart with peace Lord a peace that goes beyond what I can understand the kind of peace that calms my mind when I feel anxious that quiets my soul when life feels overwhelming protect me today father from anything that would
