Prayer is a great way to start the day. Spending those first few moments of the day communing with God can help set the tone for the rest of the day. When we take the time to focus on seeking his plan for us for the day, he fills us with peace, grace and strength to get through the day no matter what may lay ahead.
Here are some prayers to help you spend some time in His presence before the business of the day takes your attention and focus away.
