Friday Morning Prayers: Start Your Weekend with God
December 2021
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.
Friday is a joyful day and another opportunity for us to notice and be thankful for all God’s gifts to us; the larger gift of life, the ability to breathe in air, the small gift of laughter and happiness. Starting your day with gratitude and prayer is a sure way of being blessed throughout the day. These blessings do so much for us in our day that we can’t even imagine how a day would go without them.
Friday prayers and blessings are especially important to help us end the week and prepare for the weekend ahead. God is interested in blessing your day, but we on our part have to get these blessings through prayer. Here are some prayers for you to get some Friday blessings with.
A Friday Prayer
Father God, Thank You for Your amazing power and work in my life. Thank You for Your sacrifice on the cross so that we might have true freedom and eternal life. Help me to set my eyes and hearts on you this Friday. Revive my spirit, fill me with your Holy Spirit. I love you, Lord, and want more and more of You in my life. So, please help to draw closer to You. Lord, Jesus, I want Your will to be done this Friday. So, whatever happens, or comes my way, help me to hold on to You and give me the wisdom and discernment to make wise choices. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Friday Morning Prayers
O’ Lord, thank you for this beautiful Friday morning. Today is a new day and I ask for your hand to guide me. Give me the wisdom needed today to make decisions that are part of Your will for my life.
Holy Spirit, I ask on this Friday morning that you would open the eyes of my heart that I may fully know what You have called me to. That I may understand the riches of my inheritance through Christ Jesus. Help me to walk in these truths and to be a light to those around me. Let the words of my mouth draw others towards You and plant seeds of salvation to those who don’t know You. Bless those I interact with at work and home. Bless this Friday abundantly Lord. In the name of Jesus,
Amen!
Prayer for Protection on Friday
Lord God, I am not sure what all will happen this Friday. Who I will see or what may cross my path. So, I ask for Your protection and ask You to remind me when I am fearful that You are my help in present danger. That You O’Lord are my Rock and Fortress. I can trust You with anything that comes my way.
Teach me how to stand strong in You and choose only Your way today. Help me walk by Your truth and not my feelings. Help me to embrace anything that comes my way as an opportunity to see You at work and as an opportunity to point others to You. Thank You that You love me and nothing can ever take that away from me! Thank you that I don’t have to fear or worry about anything for You have everything in Your hands. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Friday Night Prayers
Lord, as I go to sleep this Friday night. I ask that you help me to find my rest and peace in You. Help me to fall asleep and not to worry about the cares of the world but to take up Your easy yoke and Your burden that is light. I give you all my stress Lord. I place it in Your hands knowing you will take care of it for me. Jesus, I ask that you would bless this Friday evening. I pray Lord that my home would be at peace. I ask that You would set Your angels on guard over my house and each room. That no plan or scheme of the enemy over my night will affect me or my family. I ask for sweet sleep for everyone. And that the only dreams we would have would be dreams that come from You O’Lord. Thank you for goodness. Thank You, for being faithful and kind to me Lord. I love You. In the mighty name of Jesus,
Amen!
Friday Prayer for Family
Holy Spirit, I pray this Friday that you would move mightily in my family’s life. Give us a desire to pursue You as individuals and as a family. Let each one of us grow and mature in our faith. And Lord bring unity to areas where we are disconnected. Help us to love each other the way you love. Give us kindness and patience with one another. So, that we could be an example of Your goodness to those who know us. Thank you, Lord, for my family! In the name of Jesus, amen. Lord, I pray you would move the Spirit more boldly in my life. I know that any sin can grieve and diminish the voice of the Spirit, and I pray against the temptation to sin. Help me crave your presence more than I crave sin. Help me grow in the fruit of the Spirit and so walk closer with Yourself. I pray for guidance from your Spirit- let your will and promises always be a meditation of my heart. In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
Friday Prayer for Friends
Heavenly Father, I lift (friend’s name) this Friday and I ask that you would be with them. Help them in their time of need and let them draw closer to You. Give them the strength they need to push through and to trust You. I ask that You would give them the wisdom to make wise decisions and to follow the leading of Your Holy Spirit. Thank you, for this friend. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Friday Morning Prayer for Blessings
Lord Jesus, as Friday comes to an end I wanted to pray for the weekend. I ask that during the next two days You would watch over me, and protect me. If I go out bless the people I run into and if I stay home let it be a time of rest for my soul. Let Your presence be with me and give me wisdom in everything I do. And Lord I specifically lift Sunday service at church. I pray that this service would feed me spiritually, but also it would bless all those who attend. I ask that people who don’t know You would come to service and be radically saved. In the mighty name of Jesus,
Amen!
