Good morning Bible verses
Morning appears in the Bible as the hour for prayer and decision. Jesus rises before dawn to pray in a lonely place; the psalmist says that in the morning he lays his prayer before God and watches; Lamentations locates God's mercies right there, new every morning. There is a practical reason: what we read in the first minutes sets the tone for the rest of the day. The verses on this page are short on purpose, to fit in a good-morning message, a post or an image made here on the site — and to be read aloud before coffee. Pick one per week and send it to someone who usually wakes up tired: the right sentence at seven in the morning is worth more than many at eleven at night.

Yahweh, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
