Morning Prayer for Sunday – Psalm 118:24
Introduction
Sunday mornings carry a different rhythm. The world feels a little slower, the light a little softer. Psalm 118 reminds us, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Sunday begins not with a to-do list but with gratitude. It’s a day to rest, worship, and notice the grace that holds everything together.
This prayer is for those who need to take a breath before the week begins. Whether you’re preparing for worship, sharing breakfast with family, or simply sitting in the quiet, let this moment remind you that God meets you here.
Scripture
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
— Psalm 118:24 (NRSV)
Reflection
Sunday is a gift of rhythm and renewal. It gives us space to remember that rest matters, that joy is holy, and that gratitude can shape how we live the rest of the week. Even when life feels uncertain, this day opens with a promise: God is present, and that presence is enough.
Morning prayer on Sunday helps us pause and reorient our hearts. It reminds us to stop striving and start receiving. God does not rush us into the day but invites us into it, offering quiet joy that lingers long after the morning ends.
Before the day unfolds, take a moment to celebrate this simple truth: you woke up in the care of a faithful God.
