Do you pray every morning?

Guys, I was wondering if it has been your practice lately to thank and be grateful that God has given you another day to live? Do you pray every morning, or are there times that you want to pray but certain instances occur like you are just in a hurry but forgets to pray. Well, for me I am always thankful that God always gives me beautiful reasons to live each day to the fullest. I've got my family who has always been supportive to me, my friends who never leaved me when I needed them the most and God who is the best of all. Have a great time guys and enjoy life to the fullest.

Just a simple thank you GOD when I wake up every morning. I also have a prayer before starting to work. It is a combination of thanking Him for all the good things He bestowed on me, asking Him guidance and peace in my work, asking Him that even my smallest accomplishment may bring HIm glory. And finally a prayer for protection and more blessings for my family back home.

That is nice longbangod to have prayer when you wake up. It is very important to have prayer everyday. Starting when we wake up in the norning and before we sleep at night. There is a great need of prayer before we turn the key to start the engine of our car going to work. Driving in the road is risky. You don't know what will happen next. Therefore we need God's protecting hands to be upon us everyday.

Hi best_jr73...actually it is a practice already. I did it as my personal communication with. Everytime i wake up in the morning i always say a prayer to thank God for giving me another chance to live here on earth. I ask also God for guidance for my daily activities. I do pray not only in the morning but also at night before i sleep and we have also practice what they call it "angelus" at 11am and 6pm and. Same with the rosary every 6am in the morning (practice by the catholic). It is best to have personal encounter with God through prayers. It's the right time to repent and back to God's arms. Thats all for now..God bless

I don't pray every morning or everyday. I really should though. My aunt came to visit last week and we stay up all night talking about God and getting closer to him. She is a very religious person. I do give my thanks for keeping me, my family, and friends safe sometimes. It going to take me sometime to do it daily, but we all have to start somewhere!! :)

Definitely YES, all the time........... if one has to think what is happening in this world today.. there is no other way one can have that peace of mind..........talking to HIM. You may then start counting your blessings for the day.....

I don't always do it every morning. I really should be doing it. But somehow I forget. I feel bad that I forget but throughout the day I remember at some point and then I do it. Other times I end up doing it at night in the middle of the night when I wake up out of no where and I say thanks. I am glad to have woken up. And I know when morning comes I will be up once more. I am truly thankful for everything I have and everything I will end up having in the near future.

I do not pray on a regular basis, neither do I go to church, but that does not mean that I do not have a belief, I just believe in my own way. I do sometimes give silent thanks for things when it seems strange that it happened and also if I am worried about something or someone I also say a few words in my head, but that is about it for me.

I pray daily in te morning after having my bath and I also pray for half an hour before going to bed. I have followed this practice and will continue forever. God has given me so much that it makes me feel guilty if i dont pray and than God for whatever i have got and whatever i have been able to achieve. I know that whenever i have some problem, there is someone who would be always interested to listen to me and help me. Therefore I pray daily as it is very mean to pray only when you are in trouble or you want something.

Sad to say, I am not as close to God as I once was. Then I prayed often, and not just at specific times or places. Perhaps I will find my way back there soon.

i often forget to pray every morning, but i never forget to pray at night, what i usually pray is to thank God for the day and asking forgiveness, then asking for guidance..

I say my prayers at night. Sometimes I pray during the day too. I don't spend near as much time in prayer as I need to though.

I pray but not always in the morning. I pray wherever I am in silence and nothing can stand in the way of my prayers. I am very thankful to God for what I am receiving right now and what I am gaining. I know this are blessings for me and I really am appreciative of it.

Hi best_jr73! Yes, I do pray in the morning. In fact, I pray a lot. I thank God for just about anything and I always ask Him to help me and guide me. And there are times that i pray even if I don't feel like praying and have to really force myself to pray and concentrate. I guess, that is why I always pray to Him not to let go of me no matter what. Just my thoughts dear friend. Take care and have a nice day!

Oh yes, definitely! It's the first thing i do when i wake up every morning. It's my way of thanking God for seeing us through the night and for giving us another day to live and to continue asking for His blessings and guidance.
