Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Prayer is one of the fastest ways to seek the face of God and starting your day with prayer time with God in the morning is one of the best ways to start your day.
Although the Bible did not specify times for prayers, Jesus encouraged us to pray without season to avert dangers, temptations, and much more. However, our daily activities may cause us to forget to pray, which is why early morning prayers are recommended for every Christian (Philippians 4:6). It’s a time we can concentrate and focus our heart on worship before the business of the day occupies us.
Christ is a perfect example of how effective early morning prayers are, we can see that the Lord constantly practice seeking the Father in a solitary place at the start of the new day. The Bible states in Mark 1 vs 35 that “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, Where He prayed” There are some important elements to understand this golden prayer practice and these are;
- Very early in the morning, which symbolizes priority of prayer and communion with God the father above other life’s activities
- While it was still dark, meant before the day’s concerns start to overtake us and other people around us that may be a distraction to our prayer
- He got up meant that he’s prepared to dace the day’s challenges and tasks ahead and needs to drawn strength for the day.
- Solitary place here meant solititude with God; a place of quietness where there is no distraction to focus on fellowship with the Father
This practice often referred to as quiet time empahsize the need for every true believer to dedicate the first hour of every new day to tarry in God’s presence for worship. Its a time we praise, praise, study the Word of God, and pray for God’s guindacne, strenght and utmost grance for us to align with His will.
If you are not sure how best to express yourself in prayer before the Lord, fear not! Romans 8: 26 “Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” As you continue to trust in the Holy Spirit, He will lead you on how to have quality fellowship time in God’s presence.
