Is it really necessary for us to spend time in prayer in the morning?
I think so.
How many posts have I done on this one thing? I don’t know, but it has been a common theme here because it is so important for each of us, and yet it can be so easy to put off. Early morning prayer is important because it will set the tone for the entire day, it will help us to focus on what is really important in life instead of being pulled here and there by things that are urgent.
Important or urgent; entire books have been written on the difference between the two, and still we skip the important in favor of the urgent. Prayer in the morning is important.
Jesus spent time in prayer at the beginning of the day, and for me this really underscores how important a habit this is to develop. If it was important enough for Jesus to do, how could it be that I can skip it? We should ponder this point!
In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.

I love this verse from Mark. After living in the Middle East for 4 years, I have a whole new appreciation for it. In order for Jesus to be up while it was still dark outside He must have been up around 4ish since sunrise is between 4:30-5:30 am. If He could get up that early, what is a a few minutes early for me? Starting our day with the Lord is also the only way we can know what HIs plans are for our day. Great post. Blessings!
It is a vital practice for sure; thanks for sharing that!
Early morning prayer is great… but don’t stop there ! 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing !
Cultivate fellowship with God constantly … it is easier to communicate with God than your loved one as they are not always present and God is. The Spirit of Prayer in the heart means that the lips may not move, the voice not may not be heard , but the heart cries out and even our inward sighs, our deepest longings, and heart-felt groanings within are never, never, missed by God.
Yep, it’s the point of beginning!
Thank you for the reminders and encouragements.
