8 Best Uplifting Prayers for Saturday
October 2022
Alberta Vadnais
I love finding ways to feel God in my day, whether I’m going to work or cooking dinner. I make sure I’m connected to Him by listening to Bible stories, sermons, praying, and singing praise songs. All the apps I test are introduced into my everyday life so that I can feel their usability on a daily basis.
Saturday is the start of the glorious weekend. For some it’s a time to put up their feet and unwind from the week’s stress, for others, it’s a time to catch up on the week’s leftover work.
Well, the norm of resting on Saturdays isn’t far from biblical. In fact, in the Scriptures, Saturdays were called Shabbat, also known as the Sabbath, a day of rest. It is regarded as the seventh day when God rested after creating for six days. There’s also Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday when Jesus rose from death.
However, if you want to rest or catch up on work, morning prayers are the best way to start the day off. It doesn’t just strengthen your spirit but helps you organize your day. That way, you get more done and still have time to relax and commune with God.
Here’s a compilation of uplifting prayers you can say to start off your Saturdays and kick off your weekend.
Saturday Morning Prayer
Lord,
This morning, I dive into all that You have placed before me. I embrace each part of this glorious time, enjoying the service, relishing the challenges, engaging in fun, and celebrating with laughter.
On this day, may I enjoy the beauty of the created world all around me. Might I run, drive, walk and sing in the freedom of this day! Thank You that right now I can feel Your love flowing through each vein of my being, causing me to pulsate with vision and life.
On this day, I wake to live and give. May it be a worthwhile day, fill up to the brim. A day with service, laughter, work, and play, A time to run and sing. May Saturday be a day I walk in and breathe Your goodness in, and spread its beauty to those around me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Saturday Prayer
Heavenly Father,
As this week draws to a close, I come before You with a heart full of gratitude and hope.
Thank you for the grace you’ve shown me throughout the week, for every challenge turned into a lesson, and for every joy that lightened my days. As I take this Saturday to reflect and rest, guide my thoughts towards You, and help me find peace in Your presence.
May this day be a reminder of the blessings of life, of the beauty in stillness, and of the promise of a new week ahead. I pray for those who find Saturdays lonely or challenging; may they feel Your comfort and love enveloping them.
Amen.
Saturday Prayer Of Gratitude And Forgiveness
Eternal Father,
The God that does not fail. Thank You for Your protection throughout the week. Thank You for Your care and provision for me, my friends, and my household. You have been faithful to Your word that You will never disappoint the righteous.
The scriptures say, “Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind, for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” Therefore, I return thanks to Your throne for Your loving-kindness over my life.
Lord Jesus, I have not been perfect this week. I am human and have made so many mistakes knowingly and unknowingly. Forgive me of my iniquities and hear my prayers. Your word says, “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.”
Therefore, I come before You asking that You cleanse me of my sins and give me the grace not to go back to them. Thank You, Father, for Your answered prayers.
Amen.
Short Saturday Prayer For The Weekend
Lord Jesus,
You have taken me this far all through the week. As the weekend begins this Saturday morning, Father, we pray that it will be filled with rest and refreshment. Give me also the strength to accomplish all that I planned out, including cleaning. While still having enough time to relax and spend time in Your presence.
Protect my family and me from evil. Do not let us dash our feet against stones. Provide for me this weekend. Let Your angel guard all my plans and activities. I pray for peace, happiness, and joy in my home.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We know that You are doing a thousand things in our lives, even if we are only aware of a few of them. Lord, help us recognize Your Spirit. Bring us deeper into the knowledge of You, so that even in times of adversity, we can rest in the knowledge that You are with us.
Holy Spirit, please wash us with Your love. We repent of our sins, and we pray for help to do better in time. We rejoice that You are forgiving and full of such a grace that ushers us forth into freedom. Our times and our days rest in Your hands, and we know that even in anguish, You have a plan for our benefit and the glorification of the kingdom. Help us to trust You in such times and be filled with overwhelming peace.
