Send us your feedback — we’re listening Psalm 16:8 — I Keep My Eyes Always on the Lord: A Morning Prayer for Protection and Courage Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Three Prayer Themes: Presence • Protection • Courage Scripture — Psalm 16:8 (NIV) Before the day has properly begun, perhaps there is already something on your mind. You may be thinking about a person you love, a responsibility ahead, or something you cannot control. Fear has a way of pulling our attention toward everything that might go wrong. So pause with Jesus. Psalm 16 says, “I keep my eyes always on the Lord.” What a different way to begin the day. We do not have to stare at our problems all morning. We can turn our attention toward Jesus. Lord Jesus, keep our eyes fixed on You today. When fear rises, remind us that You are near. When circumstances feel uncertain, help us remember that Your presence is not changing. Give courage to the person who feels vulnerable and peace to the person who woke carrying a heavy heart. We pray for the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Watch over families, communities and those facing difficult circumstances. We remember Singapore, Japan and South Africa. Bring wisdom, protection and peace to those beginning this day. Holy Spirit, gently turn our hearts back toward Jesus whenever worry takes our attention away. Señor Jesús, estamos mirando a Ti. Senhor Jesus, nós olhamos para Ti. Panginoong Jesus, sa Iyo kami tumitingin. Lord, we give You this day before we know what it will contain. We do not need to see everything ahead. We simply need to keep our eyes on You and take the next faithful step. And perhaps that is enough for this morning: Jesus before us, Jesus beside us, and our hearts learning to look to Him. Amen. Blessing: May Jesus keep your eyes fixed on Him, guard your heart and give you courage and peace throughout this day.
