Morning Prayers are powerful. They can be the most important conversations with God, giving a voice to the emotions and feelings we may not share aloud. They can help comfort those in pain, bring solace to those struggling with loss or regret, strengthen our resolve in moments of doubt and desperation, and provide relief when nothing else will. Sometimes, the only thing that gets us through is a prayer on our lips.
To make morning prayers a habit, we must do more than pray. We need to condition ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually with an eye toward the kind of intimacy with God that it takes to make deep and lasting impressions. We sometimes take life for granted, forgetting that everything is a gift we haven’t earned, and we need to be grateful. In the same way, our habit of praying can remain shallow and half-hearted if we don’t intentionally cultivate a deeper relationship with the Divine.
God deems a comfortable Christian lukewarm because you’re neither hot nor cold, and the devil loves a pleased Christian. You’re not growing in holiness, and you’re not growing in Christ’s likeness; you’re walking the line. You aren’t making people uncomfortable by the light that shines out of you. You are a safe Christian, and God would rather have one person willing to go all out than a hundred comfortable but lukewarm Christians. “For many are called, but few are chosen. And if we are called, we should earth ourselves to be holy and perfect in every way” Luke 13:23.
When you are prayerless, you become vulnerable to the devil’s schemes. The devil knows what you need, and he’s fascinated with you. Satan can make it look like he is coming to save you from worry, sadness, or fear, and all of the time, he’s begging for a chance to come in and start messing with your soul. He’ll nibble away at your confidence, hope, and joy until he can get inside of you. But when you make prayer a habit, you are constantly building up your relationship with God and making it harder for the devil to get a foothold in your life.
* Thank Him for everything He did, and ask Him for what you need.
* Pray for those that you love and for the lost souls that live around us.
* Ask for His wisdom and take steps to spread it to the next generation.
* Pray for the sick, the hurting, and those in need.
* Pray for those in authority over us. Pray for the church and those who are working to keep her alive.
* Pray that we will continue to grow and be better Christians next year than we are this year. Then, thank Him and ask for His help.
* Pray that we can stay on the same path that we are. Ask Him to lead us to the truth in everything that we do.
* Don’t take prayer for granted. Pray always and know the God who hears you.
Prayer is a habit we need to develop if we want to deepen our relationship with God. It’s not something we can do once in a while or when we feel like it. It’s something that we need to be intentional about, setting aside time each day to pray. When we make prayer a priority, we are telling God that we want to be closer to Him and are willing to work to make that happen.
How To Get Started
If you’re unsure how to start, try setting aside 15 minutes each day for prayer. Find a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted and focus your attention on God. You can start by talking to Him and sharing your joys and concerns. As you get comfortable, you can try using a guided prayer or reading a section of Scripture. The important thing is to be consistent and to make prayer a part of your daily morning routine.
For prayer to become a habit, we need to make a building that intimacy part of our daily routine. If we want our prayers to make a real impact on others, we need to be intentionally pursuing that intimacy with God and cultivating the kind of relationship He desires. We also need to be intentional about keeping that intimacy with God by praying at least once every day. We can’t make prayer a habit if we only take the time to pray when something big is bothering us or when it’s convenient for us.
Everyday Prayers
My beloved Lord Jesus, you deserve all the honor and glory for everything you have done for me. The moment I accepted your invitation, You appeared before me and changed my entire world.

You are a good God who loved us and gave Your son to die for us. We proclaim your Good News of salvation to all nations, and we proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord of lords and King of kings, owner of all things. And it is your Mighty Name that gives us the power to live victoriously, and I pray to trust and believe AMEN.
Conclusion
To have a true relationship with God, we need to spend time with Him. We can’t expect our prayers to make a real impact on others when we aren’t willing to spend the time getting closer to God. He wants us to be in constant communication with Him, and that’s why we need to give Him the time and attention He deserves by praying at least once every day.
