Please ask God to grant me the strength to pray in the morning. I have a hard time waking up early in the morning to pray and I need to start praying since I need God. thank you

I have prayed for your intention, but is it possible that early morning is not the best time for you to pray? God hears you at any time. See if there’s a time when you can give God your undivided attention, yet not become a health risk for you. Maybe five or ten minute breaks through the day would be wiser.

Well, maybe just start by talking to Him?* :: Open eyes, blearily turn off alarm: “Good morning Lord! You know how much I hate mornings, please help me get on with my day. Amen.”:: * It doesn’t have to be more than that, but I imagine it will evolve. Anything at all is infinitely better than nothing at all.
 
Good evening, Julia,

I have a hard time waking up, too, and prayers I like to say early, too. So, I said a little prayer for you, like you asked.

There’s two easy prayers, for when you first wake up. One is “God have mercy on me a sinner.”

The other is, “Thank you, Jesus.”
Sometimes when I wake up early, I will amble to the kitchen to start my coffee, before I start my regular prayers but wanting to pray, muttering, “Thank you, Jesus, I’m alive. Thank you, Jesus, I’m awake (I’ve had trouble waking up0. Thank you, Jesus, I’m up”. There were times I couldn’t get up, too.
So, a simple, “Thank you, Jesus” is a good way to start your day.

God loves you,
Don
 
Jesus I offer You all I do and say this day.
Please make all I say and do according to Your love and will.

Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
 
TrueFaithSeeker,
I agree with so much of what has been suggested here!
Prayer is conversation with Our Lord. It doesnt have to be more formal.

For me when I wake, I bless myself, tell the Lord good morning and ask Him what is on His agenda for me to help Him today. I ask “how can I be of help”

Then I go into my kitchen, put coffee on, the go open the blinds to my living room window, where sitting on my mantle, is a Statue of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal. As I am opening the blinds, I say good morning to Our Lady as well and ask Her to pray for me and to intercede for me.

There is nothing formal about my morning prayer routine (Im not awake enough to be honest). But my prayerful greetings are just as sincere and heart felt.

THAT is what is matters. Intimate and real relastionships with Our Lord and the Holy Mother. It’s what makes discipleship, discipleship. It’s real, genunine, sincere and intimate.

I will pray for your intention for strength to pray, and to find a style of prayer that brings your closer to discipleship.
 
Lord, please help TrueFathSeeker to find a suitable time in the day for prayer. May he/she keep recollected in you throughout the day and make aspirations of love frequently. May his/her time alone with you in prayer be most fruitful and grace-filled. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.
