Command the Morning Prayers: A Spiritual Start to Each Day
Command The Morning Prayers have caused miracles to happen in many lives! Every morning signifies the BEGINNING of a new day! The beginning of a thing symbolizes hope, belief, and encouragement. At the beginning of a race, you have the same belief as other racers that you will finish first as long as you stick to your plan; every morning evokes the same feelings, and beliefs in a person.
So, when it comes to early morning prayers, you feel a sense of renewal; God has given us another chance to correct our mistakes and learn from our past failures.
As a child of God waking up in the morning is a source of inspiration and joy because we get to seek the face of God. Psalm 119:147 says, ‘I get up before dawn and cry for help; I place my hope in your word’
The best time to seek God is in the mornings; before the burdens of life begin to clog your brain, before you turn your love and care to the cries of the baby, and before you start the rigors of the day it is best always to seek the Lord and commit all unknown occurrences into his able hands.
Your waking day should be filled with gratitude for the arrows of the devil the Lord spared you from all night, the victory God delivers to you every night from the attacks of those evil forces that gathered to destroy your destiny. There is so much we should be thankful for and look forward to every morning because it is the start of a new dawn.
You know that phrase ‘nothing like a cup of coffee to start your day’. You know that burst of energy coffee gives you; the feeling you get knew you believe you can take on anything, and everything life throws at you? If you can feel that way about a cup of coffee, wheat do you think you would feel about starting your day communicating with the one true God?
It is always best to seek God in a quiet place of worship and prayer so you can absorb all that God reveals to you, and you will be able to concentrate on your prayers.
When you pray in the morning, this can signify a sign of respect you have for God. Before you communicate with anyone, before you do anything, you communicate with your maker! This is giving God respect 101! As a child of God, you begin the day by thanking him and committing all you will pass through into his hands. and making yourself available to do God’s work on earth.
We need to take early morning prayers seriously because we find that the morning is almost the only time we have to pray before we get too busy with the hustle and bustle of the day, and is the perfect time to receive God’s blessings and protection against the evil spiritual attacks of the devil.
We begin our battle in the spiritual by praying in the physical. God has ordered us as his children to always pray to him, this is a sign of respect, and regard. Prayers are weapons God has given to us to fight every spiritual oppression. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, ‘If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land’(NIV)
Praying to God is a way to better our relationship with him, what kind of relationship is it when a child cannot talk to the parents? God wants us close to him so that his blessings and protection will always fall upon us. Isn’t it ironic that the less we pray the farther apart we draw from God? The less we pray, the more the devil can access our lives.
Another reason to engage in early morning prayer is the fellowship we have as a household. When we gather in the name of God, we invite God’s presence among us.
Also, early mornings are when one is least distracted and the best time the brain is clear so you can pray from your heart, and receive daily instructions from God. We need to focus to understand the necessary instructions to fight all the spiritual forces against us. Ephesians 6:12 says, ‘ For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.’
If all God requires from us is to pray so all these forces of evil are put in check, isn’t it worth it to always be in prayers?
We have some early morning prayers you can use to engage your soul and communicate to the Father your needs and desires.
Please note that whenever you pray it is always good to use the words of God from the Bible. This is a way of ‘reminding’ God of his words and promises to us. When a child reminds the father of his words and promises, it ‘forces’ the hand of the father to act on a matter.
And we should not forget that praise worship is another form of prayers to God and we should try adding praise worship songs to our prayers

Father, as I head out today grant me the courage to face all challenges with your wisdom and grace.
I speak to every challenge ahead of me; as a child of God, to bow to the grace of the Lord almighty, and heed to presence.

Early Morning Prayers for the Holy Spirit

Today, we operate under the authority of the Holy Spirit to stay away from sin and to be guided by the principles of a child of God. Lord, teach us not to lose the presence of the Holy Spirit in us.
Bless us oh Lord with the Holy Spirit so we can spread your message of love, godliness, and peace to everyone we interact with today. In Jesus name, amen
Early Morning Prayers for My Family
Lord, we bless you for this new day, thank you for taking care of my family, keeping them safe from the attacks of the devil.
Today as we head out bless the works of our hands to provide for our family because in 1 Timothy 5:18, I understand that, ‘But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel’ Lord, we are your children and not infidels, Bless us to operate in faith.
I cover me and my family and the works of our hands with the blood of Jesus, and forgive us of all our sins as we have forgiven all those who have sinned against us.
As we have blessed us to see the beginning of the day, we know that you will grant us the mercy to see the end of the day also. And we shall be of use to the kingdom of God this day, in the name of Jesus
