The year 2020 came with a lot of surprises, most of which we were not prepared for. Many lost their jobs, money, and friends, and loved ones to the pandemic, and the effects are still looming. A lot of lessons were learned and for us as children of God, there was the need for us to be on our knees more than ever, and taking morning devotion prayer more serious.

This is 2021 and more often than not, we find ourselves overtaken by challenges and hurdles of life with the need to overcome. Prayer hasn’t always been easy but Christ has told us and assured us in Matthew 11: 28- come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.

Offering short daily prayers can effectively guarantee our protection, provision, and the required strength and wisdom for the day; not only for us but also for our family, friends, and loved ones.

Here is a compilation of short daily prayer points with bible verses attached to help you in your personal spiritual growth and self-development journey. Pray them with all your heart and with faith in the promises of God; and watch God take over the rest.

Short Prayers of Thanks and Praise

God is always with us come rain, come shine, and even when we do not realize it.

On one hand, some of us praise God only in the good times when everything seems to be going as planned. On the other hand, many of us are in the habit of questioning God in bad times but are slow to praise him when things go well. This should not be the case.

It is important to praise and thank God in times of lack and want, as well as in times of abundance and blessings.

Perhaps you should be reminded that God inhabits the praises of his people. He’s all-sufficient and doesn’t need material things. However, what we can do is thank and praise him for his love, provisions, grace, and mercies.

Psalm 7: 17 says I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.

Make thanksgiving a habit, as part of your short daily prayer. Here are short prayers of thanks and praise that can be offered to God, which is the little we can give in exchange for all that he has done for us.

• Lord, I thank you for who you are and what you do. You alone deserve all my praise and worship.

Dear Father, I humbly come before You with a heart of praise to thank you; for I know that every good and perfect gift comes from You. I see all that you’ve done, and all that you’re doing for me, and I know I fail to thank you as I should. Forgive me and may I learn to do better. You alone deserve all my praise.

Thank you for loving me, for Christ’s death on the cross, resurrection, and the gift of salvation. Thank you for the forgiveness of sins and for making me worthy to be in your presence. I stand in awe of your love each day.

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of life and for waking me up this morning and starting me on my way. I ask that you help me see how truly blessed I am. Help me to put aside complaining today. Instead, I ask that my heart be filled with thanksgiving and gratitude in Jesus Name, Amen

• Heavenly Lord, I thank you for your protection upon me, my family, and my loved ones. Even in these times of insecurity and fear, you have always been with us. You are constantly fighting our battles both seen and unseen. Thank you for your faithfulness in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
