In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch. Psalm 5:3 (NASB)

A MORING PRAYER

Father thank You for awakening me to this new morning! Please help me to begin this day with rejoicing, and with praise to You on my heart and lips for keeping me through another night.
I also praise You for the promise of Your Word in Lamentations 3:22-23 that your lovingkindness never cease, and Your compassions never fail, but are new every morning.
I commit this day to You. Help me to keep You uppermost in my thoughts, and help me to magnify and glorify Your great name in all that I do and say. I pray this in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.

I will bless the LORD who has counseled me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:7-8 (NASB)

An EVENING PRAYER

Father I praise and magnify Your holy name for keeping me in Your love and care throughout this day. I pray that even as I sleep, my mind will be renewed and reminded of Your goodness.
Than You for the many ways You have You have shown Your lovingkindnes to me all day long, even at those times when I may not have been aware of Your provision and Your protection.
I praise You for the wonderful promise of Scripture in Psalm 121:3-4 that "He who keeps you will not slumber . . . nor sleep." Thank You for being ever watchful over me, even in the deepest part of the night. Amen.
