When you start your day with a morning prayer about being filled with Jesus, you invite Jesus into your life and open yourself up to His presence and guidance. By seeking Him first thing in the morning, you acknowledge that He is the source of your strength and that you cannot do anything without Him.
As you pray this morning, ask God to help you remain in Him throughout the day. Pray for His peace, wisdom, and guidance in all that you do. Remember that when you stay connected to Jesus, you can bear fruit that will last.
May this morning prayer encourage you to seek Him with all your heart. As you start your day, remember that you have access to the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.
So take a moment to pause, breathe in God’s goodness, and ask Him to fill you with His presence. Know that He is listening, and He wants to meet you right where you are.
“When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord. And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple” (1 Kings 8:10-11, NIV).
Dear Lord,
As I wake up to a new day, I am grateful for the opportunity to seek You. I pray that You fill me with Your presence so that I might radiate Your love and grace throughout the day. Just like in 1 Kings where Your glory filled the temple, I pray that my heart will be Your dwelling place.
You promised in Matthew 5:6 that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled. And this morning, I come before You hungry and thirsty for more of You. My soul longs for Your touch, and I believe that as I seek You, I will find You.
Lord, I ask that You fill me with Your Holy Spirit. It’s only through the Spirt that I can experience true love, joy, peace, and patience. I know I will need all of those fruits today. I want to be a light to those around me. Help me to keep my eyes fixed on You, even when life gets busy and distractions come my way.
Remind me throughout my day that You are the vine and I am a branch. To bear fruit, I must remain in You. I can’t do anything apart from You. I’m reminded of that old song: “Fill my cup, Lord. I lift it up, Lord. Come and quench this thirsting in my soul. Bread of heaven, fill me till I want no more. Fill my cup, fill me up and make me whole.”
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
