A Powerful Prayer To START and END Your Day


We all need the mercy of God in our lives. It was God's mercy that woke you up  this morning. It's God's mercy that allows each and every breath that we take. It's through his mercy and his grace that we are protected. It's through his mercy and grace that we can find healing, peace, and provision.

I encourage you to repent and turn away from sin because our Lord is a merciful God. In II Chronicles chapter 30 verse 9, the latter part of the verse says, ... For the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him, and so stand in agreement with me as I pray.

Let us return to the Lord if you've backslidden, come back to Jesus. If you've sinned repent and come back to Jesus. If you've placed your trust elsewhere,  come back to Jesus. We need the mercy of God over our lives each and every day, and our God is a loving God.  

So let us pray, Lord Jesus, I ask for your mercy and forgiveness upon each and every one who is  listening in agreement. Your word says in the book of Hebrews  chapter 4, Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

For many of us Lord, this is our time of need. We are crying out for you at a time that we need your grace, your unfailing mercy over our lives. We acknowledge you to be the one true God, ruler of all the heavens and the earth, ruler of all the universe. 

And we bow down before you king Jesus, and we say to you, our Lord of Lords, you are great and mighty, but you are also filled with compassion and affection. You are an all-consuming fire, but you are also absolute in your love. While we were yet still sinners you died for us. Lord Jesus, I repent for my sins.

I repent for the sins that I have committed both in my mind and in my actions. Have mercy on me Lord, in your love there is no fear, your perfect love expels all fear. Your word says, that the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases. Your mercies never come to an end, they are new every morning. 

Great is your faithfulness, thank you for your new mercies every day. Your mercies which are new every single day, meaning, today's mercies are more than enough for me to overcome today's troubles, and tomorrow's mercies will be more than enough for me to overcome tomorrow's troubles.

Thank you for your unending love, even when we walk away from you Lord and disobey, you still love us. You still have your loving arms open calling us and convicting us to repent and come back to you. Your love is strong and steadfast, so strong that you protect me from the enemy.

So many things could have happened, so many things should have happened, but your love has protected me from battles that are seen and unseen. You have blocked attacks from the enemy that I did not know about, and your grace  continues to sustain me. You are a God who is beautiful beyond description.

As your word says, in the book of Psalms, have mercy on me O' God according to your unfailing love, according to your great compassion. Blot out my transgressions, wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. I thank you for your unfailing love which I do not deserve.  I thank you for your great compassion which I do not deserve.

Our minds do not have the capacity to understand your mercy, you show us unconditional mercy every day. You are patient with us, you are a father who makes us whole again.  I thank you for your divine mercy which always sees us for who we truly are and yet you still care for us. You still love us constantly despite our imperfections, despite how many times we fall.

I offer thanksgiving to you Lord, thank you. Thank you for your son, Jesus Christ who rescued us from sin. So strong was your love that you wouldn't allow sin to separate us from you. Even though sin was a legal sentence that hung over our heads, instead of eternal death, you chose to offer us eternal life.

Your mercy caused you to act in the greatest of ways, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". Thank you for your mercy Lord Jesus which led you to lay aside your glory and come to earth as a man and suffer and die for us so that we may be freed from our misery and eternal destiny.

You came to give us life and life more abundantly. You came to give rest to the weary, you came to set us free, free from every garment of shame. You came to set us free from death, sin and the grave. And now by your resurrected power all things are possible in our lives. 

I thank you because you have clothed us with grace and mercy. You have clothed us with everlasting joy. I bless your Holy name because you are a covenant keeping God, we trust and depend on you, Lord, have mercy on us. When the enemy tries to attack, when he sends his legions against us,  you will be our protector, you will be our strong tower.

Help us to stand firm and know that you are our stronghold in the day of trouble, You are the rock of our salvation. I declare that the Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer. My God, my strength, you are my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Other people may not see our struggles, but you do Lord. Other people may not see our pain, but I am grateful that you do. When the challenges of life are overwhelming, when the trials of life are too hard for us to handle.

Lord, let your mercy be shown to us. We trust you to be our help and comfort in Jesus' name. You see our needs, you see the areas that we lack, and you are a God who provides. I declare that your goodness and mercies shall never depart from me in Jesus' name.

Your word says, "The Lord is good to all, and his tender mercies are over all of his works, you are rich in mercy. Help us to move away from the tendency to think that we can rely on our own strength. Thank you for always welcoming us even in our weakness. Thank you, for always being there even in our brokenness  and desperation. Thank you, for never  turning away from us nor turning a deaf  ear to us.

Lord, you are the fountain of kindness and the giver of grace upon grace. Free us from fear of an uncertain future. You have never given us any reason to doubt your promise, for you are a God who completes every good work that you have begun.

I trust in you Lord and in your unfailing mercy. Let every fear from our lives, from our families lives, be removed. Lord, give us the courage and strength to overcome the enemy. You have promised to always stand by us. You have promised to never leave us nor forsake us, and now we need you more than ever. May your mercy see us through. Let your love surround us.

Thank you for hearing our prayer. I ask that you bless each and every person who is listening in agreement. Father, grant them mercy in their lives. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
