Rising in Faith: A Catholic Morning Prayer for Your Daily Grace
Rising in Faith: A Catholic Morning Prayer for Your Daily Grace
As Catholics, we believe that starting our day with prayer is essential to prepare us for the challenges ahead. It is a way of centering our thoughts on God and listening to His guidance throughout the day.
The Bible encourages us to seek God’s help and mercy every morning, as seen in Psalm 143:8 which reads, “Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust”.
Here is a Catholic morning prayer that will help you rise up in faith and grace each day.
Acknowledging God’s Presence
Lord Jesus Christ, at this moment, I acknowledge your presence here with me,
You are my Lord and my Savior.
I thank you for this new day,
and ask you to guide me as I journey through it.
Grant me strength and courage
to face each challenge that comes my way.
Thanksgiving
Almighty Father,
I thank you for everything You have granted me so far;
For the blessings of yesterday
And those yet to come today.
For Your infinite mercy upon my life
Despite my failures now and before
Your unceasing love overwhelms my being
Forever grateful will I be.
Confession
Lord Jesus Christ,
I am sorry once again
for failing You by word or action.
Please forgive all of my sins.
Grant me the grace
to change what needs changing
and not repeat those mistakes
Help me put off all evil desires
that lure into sin once again
Give hearts humility always
To admit their mistakes when wrongs are made;
Let them never forget Your righteous ways
As we acknowledge You as The Truth, The Life & The Way
Petition
Dear Lord Jesus Christ,
I now work as a team with You.
Please come and take the lead
Give me your supernatural help,
That I may be fruitful in all that I do.
Send Your Holy Spirit to me
To guide my every step
That each of my decisions
Brings glory to Your name.
Where there is sickness, bring healing,
For those who don’t know You – let them encounter You
Show us how we can serve others today, oh Lord
May each of our actions this day point towards You.
Closing Prayer
Almighty Father,
As I rise up from prayer this morning;
May everything that has been said and done
Remain in my heart always.
As a Catholic faithful,
May God Almighty protect us all;
Through Jesus Christ Our Lord,
We celebrate the life and Resurrection of Jesus.
Let Thy grace warm our hearts
And light the pathway before us.
We pray for strength for these new challenges
That with faith and love we will find victory above
Great is thy mercy upon us!
Come sanctify our lives afresh!
Let joy forevermore fill tongues thus;
Because it’s a fresh start to make good things happen in goodness!
Amen.
In conclusion, Morning prayers are an excellent way to start your day on the right foot as a Catholic faithful. It is essential to acknowledge God’s presence at every given time- especially when starting your day as it gives you hope and encouragement throughout everything you might face within each day.. The daily prayer above aligns well within scripture because if there was any word for Christian believers out there searching for daily inspiration – it would have something about choosing God’s path always; “Trust in Him with all thy Heart” (Proverbs3:5).
Prayer should not just be limited within Sunday mass or church services only; Embrace life fully giving thanks daily; This dawn period presents an opportunity to communicate with God who most Catholics perceive as a true friend and our personal redeemer. Pray that your day will be fruitful, that your actions will bring honor to God’s name and bless everyone around you.
With this beautiful daily Catholic prayer, you can start each day knowing that you are in the presence of the Lord and trusting in His love and guidance for everything life has in store for you today.
