The importance of daily prayer
Tony Campolo (American writer and speaker) argues that it is important to make time to pray. For him, praying at the start of the day is following the pattern of Jesus, who would wake early and take himself away from the others to pray (Mark 1:35)Campolo states that he gets up "always a half hour before I have to" (watch here on Youtube). Think about this the next time you set your alarm clock!
A Daily Morning Prayer
An uplifting prayer for starting your day with God! Be inspired as you watch breathtaking views and pray this beautiful prayer:
Lord, I trust in your unfailing love, in your promises.
I give this day and all that it holds to you.
May I walk in your goodness,
knowing your gentle hand will guide me,
and keep me.
Father, clear my sleepy head and fill my mind with expectation
Awake my slow body and energise my heart with love in action.
Ignite my spirit and set this day on fire with promise.
Make the ordinary extraordinary.
Engage me, show me your kingdom alive
Help me to see that every waking moment
Is full of promise because of you.
Amen.
God in my waking
God in my thinking
God in my actions
Take my everyday life and live in me.
"Each morning you listen to my prayer,
as I bring my requests to you
and wait for your reply"

will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
(Isaiah 40:31, NIV)
My heart, O God, is steadfast,
my heart is steadfast;
I will sing and make music.
Awake, my soul!
Awake, harp and lyre!
I will awaken the dawn
(Psalm 57:7-8, NIV)
I come before you, O Lord.
As the sun rises may your hope rise up in me.
As the birds sing may your love flow out of me.
As the light floods into this new day,
May your joy shine through me.
I come before you, O Lord
And drink in this moment of peace,
That I may carry something of your hope, love and joy
Today in my heart.
Amen.
