From the Pages of Oil Poured Quietly

This prayer is drawn from our sacred collection, Oil Poured Quietly. A book of anointed prayers for the becoming soul. It was written for mornings just like this. When peace feels distant, but your spirit is still reaching.

Let it be oil for your morning. Let it be strength for your soul.

Prayer for Morning Strength 

Heavenly Father, 

You are the God of dawn, the One who paints light on darkness and calls the sun to rise without fail. Before the birds sing, You are already moving. Before the world awakens, You are already present. I honour You, the Giver of strength, the Sustainer of my soul. My breath belongs to You. My waking belongs to You. This day belongs to You. 

Lord, I confess that I sometimes wake with weariness more than wonder. I carry yesterday’s burdens into today’s blessings. I let fear beat the alarm clock. I allow racing thoughts to steal the stillness You designed for me. But right here, right now, I surrender. I lay it all down my anxiety, my to-do lists, my need to control. Forgive me for assuming I have to power this day on my own. You are my strength, not my schedule. 

Thank You for the gift of a new morning. For breath in my lungs. For another chance to rise. Thank You for the divine appointments I don’t yet see and for the favour that’s already been assigned. Thank You that I am not starting from lack but from overflow. Your mercies met me before my feet hit the ground. 

Now, Lord, strengthen me from the inside out. Let the power of Your Spirit run through my veins like holy fire. Let me walk in grace and authority. Let my mind be alert, my words be seasoned, and my steps be ordered. May I walk slowly enough to notice people, boldly enough to carry purpose, and wisely enough to avoid distractions. 

Where I feel tired, renew me. 
Where I feel unsure, establish me. 
Where I feel empty, fill me again. 

Let this be the kind of day where Heaven leaks into everything I do, from quiet moments to bold assignments. Let those around me feel Your presence through my peace. May every move I make reflect Your light. 

This is not just a morning. This is a miracle in motion. 

In Jesus’ name, 
Amen.
