Make Prayer The Very First Thing You Do Every Morning
And Jesus Will Bless The Rest Of Your Day
I Was Inspired To Write This Message From My Friend Pastor Art Kohl
If you want to be blessed every day, make prayer the very first thing you do every morning. Right when you get out of bed each morning start the day in prayer before you do your daily chores. Find a blessed place in your home or apartment that you daily have prayer and devotions to our Lord Jesus. If you honor the Lord Jesus first every day in morning prayer, Jesus will honor and bless the rest of your day.
Morning is the best time of the day to find Jesus because Proverbs 8:17 says I love them that love me and those that seek me early shall find me. Wake up in the morning, get out of that bed, and pray because Proverbs 20:13 tells us Love not sleep lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. And remember the warning of Proverbs 23:21 that says For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
Martin Luther And King David Were Blessed
Because They Prayed Early In The Morning
Blessed Quote From Martin Luther About Praying Early In The Morning
I have so much to do today
I need to spend the first three hours in prayer
Wow, when Martin Luther faced a busy day he said I need to spend the first three hours in prayer. He realized that he could accomplish more and fix all his problems after morning prayer because God would help him all that day instead of using his own strength. Martin Luther realized that if he honored the Lord Jesus first every day, Jesus would honor him all that day and fix his problems.
James 4:2 says we have not because we ask not. Jesus is waiting every day in the morning for you to tell him your problems. The people that get blessed the most ask and tell Jesus the most about their problems that get fixed. In other words, instead of reacting to a problem, tell Jesus the problem first thing every morning and Jesus will help you fix and solve any problem. And with Jesus helping you each day you will always be a winner and overcome any obstacle.
No matter how busy you are each day, spend some time (even ten to fifteen minutes) first thing every morning in prayer and Jesus will bless your day. King David was a very busy man but David spent time every day early in the morning in prayer and got blessed. Psalm 5:3 tells us that David said My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord, in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

And Jesus Will Bless You Greatly Each Day
A Blessed Poem By Ron Hamilton About Morning Prayer
My Quiet Time
Before I start each day there is a special place
I love to go alone and seek my Saviour's face
I find wisdom in His Word to instruct me in His will
And I hear His gentle voice say My child peace be still
He's with me all the time wherever I may go
Each moment of the day He's always there I know
But I need that special time when I bow before His throne
Just to read His Word and talk with my Lord alone
My quiet time alone gives me power to obey
My quiet time alone with God each day
I talk to Him in prayer
Every day He meets me there
My quiet time alone with God
My quiet time alone with God
A Blessed Poem By Ralph Spaulding Cushman About Morning Prayer
The Secret
I met God in the morning when my day was at its best
And His presence came like sunrise like a glory in my breast
Each day long the presence lingered; all day long He stayed with me
and we walked in perfect calmness over a very troubled sea
Other ships were torn and battered; other ships were sore distressed
But the winds that seemed to drive them brought to me a peace and rest
Then I thought of other mornings with a keen remorse of mind
When I too had loosed the moorings with His presence far behind
So I think I know the secret learned from many a troubled way
You must seek God in the morning if you want Him through the day
Edward Praying Payson Got Blessed With Early Morning Prayer
Edward Praying Payson was a pastor in the early 1800's in Maine. Prayer was the main focus of his life. After praying many hours early every morning, he wore grooves into the wooden floorboards by his bed creating an indentation from his knees to his feet. Over 700 people in Maine got saved and believed in the Lord Jesus because of Edward Payson's daily prayers for hours. His most famous book written in 1814 was The Bible Above All Price.
Praying Payson of Portland Maine had the highest quality of intimacy with God. Most of us are but sparrows in prayer and flutter no higher than the lowest branches but this eagle soared into the heavenlies. None rose higher than Payson. Remember the promise of 1 John 5:14 when you pray to our Lord Jesus every morning. And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us. And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him. Get saved today and get blessed every day with morning prayer. Right now repent, confess Jesus to be your God, and believe that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.
J Wilbur Chapman Became A Blessed Preacher
Because A Deacon Prayed Early Every Morning For Him
A young preacher named J Wilbur Chapman became a pastor in Philadelphia and his preaching was boring. Several deacons in his church wanted to tell him to resign. But one blessed deacon convinced the church members to allow J Wilbur Chapman to preach for one more month. This blessed deacon told J Wilbur Chapman "You are not a strong preacher and in the usual order of things you will fail here, but my friends and myself have agreed to meet every Sunday morning to pray in the basement under you while you preach." Eventually 3000 people would pray every Sunday for this imperfect pastor named J Wilbur Chapman in the basement under him while he preached.
Because of the blessed deacon and his friends' prayers, J Wilbur Chapman became one of America's greatest preachers and won thousands of souls to our Lord Jesus. J Wilbur Chapman had the honor of leading a former baseball player named Billy Sunday to our Lord Jesus. And Billy Sunday also became one of America's greatest preachers. Now consider that millions of souls would have been lost had it not been for an unknown blessed deacon that daily prayed early every morning for his friend named J Wilbur Chapman. Keep praying friends early in the morning for your brothers and sisters in the Lord. Your prayers will result in millions getting saved.
After reading this article about J Wilbur Chapman, consider this quote: "Not many pastors build great churches, but great churches build great pastors by choosing to encourage and pray for them, rather than focus on their imperfections." Remember Galatians 6:1: Brethren if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
I truly enjoyed writing this blessed bible study that I pray in Jesus name blesses multitudes all over this earth with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. Till we meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.
