Bible Verses About Morning Prayer

What does the Bible say about morning prayer?

It’s always great to pray in the morning. Give the Lord thanks for everything. Wake up to some great Scriptures that you can put anywhere in your room.

Pour your heart out to God and connect with the Lord to start your day off in the best way.
