Why Morning Prayer Changes Everything
Morning prayer is not just a religious ritual – it is a strategic act of faith. When you pray first thing in the morning, you are declaring that God is in charge of your day.
You are inviting His wisdom into your decisions, His peace into your anxieties, and His strength
into your weakness. Psalm 5:3 says “In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.”
