A morning prayer is a wonderful way to focus your time and attention on seeking God's plan for the day ahead. Whether you need encouragement, peace, strength, or rest, God can meet you in a very real and present way when you come before Him with a humble heart. Seek God's presence each morning before your energy and attention is pulled by all the tasks you have ahead.
晨禱是一個讓你可以把時間跟焦點放在上帝今天的計畫的絕佳方式。不管你需要鼓勵,平安,力量,或是休息,當你謙虛來到上帝面前,祂都能夠滿足你真實又當下的需要。每天早上於你被世俗的事情分心以前,請先尋求上帝的同在。
Here are 10 helpful morning prayers to start your day:
以下是十個能幫助你的晨禱禱文:
1. "Lord, may nothing separate me from You today. Teach me how to choose only Your way today so each step will lead me closer to You. Help me walk by the Word and not my feelings. Help me to keep my heart pure and undivided. Protect me from my own careless thoughts, words, and actions. And keep me from being distracted by MY wants, MY desires, MY thoughts on how things should be. Help me to embrace what comes my way as an opportunity... rather than a personal inconvenience. And finally, help me to rest in the truth of Psalm 86:13, 'Great is your love toward me.' You already see the ways I will fall short and mess up. But right now, I consciously tuck Your whisper of absolute love for me into the deepest part of my heart. I recognize Your love for me is not based on my performance. You love me warts and all. That's amazing. But what's most amazing is that the Savior of the world would desire a few minutes with me this morning. Lord, help me to forever remember what a gift it is to sit with You like this. Amen."
- Lysa Terkeurst
上帝,希望今天沒有事情可以將祢我分離。請在今天教導我只選擇祢的道路,以致每一步都更與祢接近。請幫助我倚靠祢的話語行走,而不是我的感覺。請幫助我,讓我的心聖潔又全心全意。請保守我不被我自己缺乏思考的念頭,話語,以及行為影響。請幫助我不被我自己的渴望還有我自以為是的思想影響。請幫助我能擁抱生命的事件,視它為機會,而不是耽擱自己。最後,請幫助我在詩篇86:13的經文"因為祢向我發的慈愛是大的,祢救了我的靈魂免入極深的陰間。"找到安息。祢已經看到我會失敗,也會搞砸。但是現在,我清醒的把祢對我極大慈愛的耳語放在我心深處。我知道祢對我的愛不是根據我的表現。祢連我不好的部分也愛。這很不可思議。但是更神奇的是,救世主願意在這個早晨陪我幾分鐘的時間。上帝,求祢幫助我永遠記得可以跟祢促膝談心是一個禮物。阿門。"
2. "Dear God, thank you for another day. Please watch over my family and friends. Thank you! Amen."
親愛的上帝,謝謝祢又讓我活一天。請看顧我的家庭以及朋友。謝謝祢,阿門。
"I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken." - Psalm 16:8
3. "Dear Lord, I don't know who or what will cross my path today. But I do know that You are my Rock and my Fortress. You are my Shield and my Strong Tower. Help me to anchor myself to You today. Teach me how to stand strong in You and choose only Your way today. Help me walk by Your truth and not my feelings. Help me to embrace anything that comes my way as an opportunity to see You at work and as an opportunity to point others to You. Thank You that You love me and nothing can ever take that away from me! Even if I fail today and fall short, You whisper Your unconditional love deep into my soul and remind me that Your mercies are new every morning. That truly amazes me, Lord. Thank You for meeting with me today. Would You wake me again tomorrow with the same sweet whisper of Your love? I can't wait to meet with You again. In Jesus' Name, Amen."

親愛的上帝,我不知道今天會發生甚麼事情。但是我知道,祢是我的巖石,我的山寨。祢是我的盾牌,祢是我的堅固臺。請幫助我緊緊倚靠祢,在今日。請教導我如何在祢裡面堅定站立,選擇祢的道路。幫助我走出祢的真理,而不是靠我的感覺。幫助我擁抱發生的事情,看成祢運行的機會,以及介紹祢給他人認識的機會。感謝祢愛我,沒有任何事情可以抹滅這點! 就算我今天失敗,祢依舊對著我的靈魂訴說祢長闊高深的愛,在每個早晨提醒我祢的慈愛。這真的讓我感到很神奇,上帝。謝謝祢今日與我談心。祢明天也願意用同樣甜美的愛的耳語將我甦醒嗎? 我已經迫不及待要與祢再次談心了! 以上帝的名,阿門。"
4. "Lord, give me strength in my weakness. Give me faith in my fear. Give me power in my powerlessness. I'm trusting you. Amen."
上帝,請在我的軟弱加上力量。請在我的恐懼加上信心。請在我的無力加上剛強。我信靠祢。阿門。

上帝,請給我強韌的勇氣,當我度過今日時。當我快要放棄,請幫助我繼續。給我一個喜樂的靈,當事情不如我意。請給我勇氣去處理我必須做的事情。以耶穌的名,阿門。

6. "Father, my heart is heavy. I feel like I have to carry the burden alone. Words like overwhelmed, distraught, exhausted seem to describe where I am. I am not sure how to let you carry my heavy load, so please show me how. Take it from me. Let me rest and be refreshed so that my heart won't be so heavy in the morning. In Jesus' name. Amen."
天父,我的心很沉重。我覺得我自己一人背負重擔。吃力,憂心,跟疲累這些字眼好像很符合我的處境。我不確定要如何讓祢來承擔我沉重的負擔。所以,請告訴我。請幫我承擔。讓我休息,更新,以致我的心在早晨不會那麼沉重。以耶穌的名,阿門。

7. "Dear Lord, help me remember what a difference it makes when I make time with You a priority in my morning. Awaken me in body and spirit each day with a desire to meet with You and to hear You speak words of affirmation, assurance and wisdom over my heart as I prepare to go into my day. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
親愛的上帝,請幫助我記得早上讓祢成為第一重要的事情會有所不同。主啊! 請在每日甦醒我體內以及靈裡對於與祢相遇的渴望,在心中聽見祢說著確信,把握,智慧的話,當我準備好進入這一天。以耶穌的名,阿門。

10. "I got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day;
有天我早起,直接開始了一天;
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn't have time to pray.
我要完成很多事情,我沒有時間禱告。
Problems just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task;
問題卻迎面而來,
每件事情都越來越沉重;
'Why doesn't God help me?' I wondered.
He answered, 'You didn't ask.'
"為何上帝不幫助我?" 我想。
祂回答,"祢沒有問啊。"
I wanted to see joy and beauty
But the day toiled on gray and bleak
I wondered why God didn't show me
He said, 'But you didn't seek',
我只想看到喜樂與美好
但是一天變的灰暗荒涼
我在想為何上帝沒有透露
祂說: "你沒有尋求",
I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys in the lock.
我嘗試走入上帝的懷抱;
我用了所有的鑰匙開鎖。
God gently and lovingly chided,
'My child, you didn't knock.'
上帝溫柔充滿愛的斥責,
"孩子,你沒有鎖門。"
I woke up early this morning,
And paused before entering the day;
我早上起床,
暫停了一下;
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray."
我有很多事情要完成
所以我要先抽空禱告。"
