Morning Prayer for Today

Start today with a short Christian morning prayer. Read or listen in English and ask for wisdom, patience, and kindness.

Read by a synthetic voice.

Lord, thank you for this new day and for the chance to begin it in prayer.

Give me wisdom for the choices I make, patience when things are hard, and kindness toward the people I meet. Help me notice who needs a hand and make time for a word of encouragement.

May my words and actions bring peace. Teach me to trust you and remember you in the ordinary things I do. Amen.

Short morning prayer before work

Lord, help me do today’s work with care. Give me patience when plans change and wisdom when I have to make a choice. Help me listen to my coworkers, ask for help when I need it, and make time for the people who depend on me. Amen.

Read Psalm 90:17 for another prayer about the work of our hands.
