How do you start your day? Is it with Scriptures, prayers, or social media? The truth is many of us unconsciously begin our day with every other thing but God; on the to-do list of some, God comes last.
But we seem to forget that how we start our day often determines how the rest of it will go.
God is the one who holds the day, so beginning the day with a conversation with Him, regardless of how short, sets the tone for a positive day.
Hence, I took the liberty to create morning prayers for August 2022, so you can begin each of the thirty-one days in August with a word of prayers to start your day with God.
I also included Bible verses to start your day, so you can meditate on God’s word before you begin conversing with your Heavenly Father.
Here are 31 Powerful Inspirational Prayers for August 2022.
