Jesus taught us the importance of daily prayer. He said, "Always pray, never lose heart" (Luke 18:1). He also said to converse with God day and night (Luke 18:7). When He taught His disciples to pray, He told them to ask God for their daily needs (Luke 11:3).

Jesus set an example of daily prayer by praying during all kinds of circumstances:

  • He prayed at His baptism (John 3:21).
  • He prayed as He faced His passion (Matthew 26:39) and on the cross (Matthew 27:46; Luke 23:34, 46).
  • Jesus prayed while in agony, He prayed all the more earnestly (Luke 22:44).
  • He prayed during sad times, like at the tomb of His friend Lazarus.
  • He prayed all night before He chose His disciples. (Luke 6:12).
  • He prayed when He broke bread and gave it to others to eat (John 6:11).

Jesus made it a priority to pray. "Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed" (Luke 5:16), or He sent the crowds away and "went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray" (Matthew 14:23). We also read that Jesus rose "very early in the morning" and "went off to a solitary place where He prayed" (Mark 1:35).

Morning prayer is important because it helps us have a good and soothing day. We need to thank God for giving us life to see the new morning. We need to pray so that the day goes well without getting into trouble.
