“Morning Prayer: Wake Up and Declare, I Will Win Today!”
So before anything else, just breathe, smile, and declare with faith, “I will win today.” When you woke up this morning, before your feet even touched the floor, there may have been a weight sitting quietly on your chest, a thought, a memory, a fear, a responsibility waiting for you the moment you open your eyes. Sometimes you wake up and it feels like the world is already ahead of you, demanding, pressing, pushing before you’ve even had a chance to breathe.
And maybe you smiled on the outside, but on the inside there was a storm, a silent one, the kind no one sees. Because you’ve learned how to function while hurting. You’ve learned how to show strength while battling battles that no one knows about. And that’s okay. You’re not alone. Many people wake up with the same silent wars.
Fear of the future, regret of the past, pressure of responsibilities, uncertainty about what comes next, and the unspoken fear. Can I make it through today? Yet even in that moment, even in that quiet space between waking and rising, there is something powerful, something divine, something intentional, the simple miraculous reality that you woke up. You are here.
Your heart is beating. Breath entered your lungs without you asking. And this alone is a message from heaven. Because every day you wake up is God’s reminder that your story is not over. There is still purpose in your steps. There is still destiny in your journey. You are not breathing because your alarm clock rang.
You are breathing because God still has work to do through you. Moreover, there is a scripture that sits quietly like a sunrise, gentle but full of power. It says, “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning.” Lamentations 3 22-23. You didn’t wake up today on leftover mercy.
You didn’t open your eyes and recycle grace. God poured a fresh batch of mercy into this day with your name on it. Meaning whatever yesterday tried to break, defeat or destroy, today comes with new strength for you, new peace for you, new clarity for you, new endurance for you. Furthermore, you may not feel strong yet. You may not feel ready yet.
