Japanese A short morning prayer of thanks: “Thank you, Lord, for keeping me through the night and waking me to this new day. Thank you for life, for the people I love and for your mercy, new again this morning. Guide me, guard me and make me thankful in everything today. Amen.”
Morning prayer goes back to the psalms. “I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me” (Psalm 3:5). “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up” (Psalm 5:3). Psalm 92 calls it “a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD … To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night.” Mark’s Gospel records that Jesus, “rising up a great while before day, … departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” (Mark 1:35).
Traditional morning prayers of thanks
The Orthodox prayer to the Holy Trinity on waking
The Russian Orthodox morning prayers, said at home from the prayer book, include this prayer of thanks for rising from sleep. The Church Slavonic text, as the Russian prayer book prints it, is followed by a literal English translation.
От сна воста́в, благодарю́ Тя, Свята́я Тро́ице, я́ко мно́гия ра́ди Твоея́ бла́гости и долготерпе́ния не прогне́вался еси́ на мя, лени́ваго и гре́шнаго, ниже́ погуби́л мя еси́ со беззако́ньми мои́ми; но человеколю́бствовал еси́ обы́чно и в неча́янии лежа́щаго воздви́гл мя еси́, во е́же у́треневати и славосло́вити держа́ву Твою́. И ны́не просвети́ мои́ о́чи мы́сленныя, отве́рзи моя́ уста́ поуча́тися словесе́м Твои́м, и разуме́ти за́поведи Твоя́, и твори́ти во́лю Твою́, и пе́ти Тя во испове́дании серде́чнем, и воспева́ти всесвято́е и́мя Твое́, Отца́ и Сы́на и Свята́го Ду́ха, ны́не и при́сно и во ве́ки веко́в. Ами́нь.
Молитвы утренние, Молитва ко Пресвятой Троице (Azbyka.ru prayer book)
Having risen from sleep, I thank you, O Holy Trinity, that because of your great goodness and patience you were not angry with me, lazy and sinful as I am, and did not destroy me with my sins. You showed me your usual love for mankind, and when I lay without hope you raised me up to rise early and glorify your power. Now enlighten the eyes of my mind, open my mouth to learn your words, to understand your commandments, to do your will, to sing to you from a thankful heart, and to praise your all-holy name, of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Literal English translation
At Orthodox Matins the priest quietly says a series of Morning Prayers while the Six Psalms are read. One of them gives thanks for the night that has passed. Isabel Hapgood’s 1906 English translation of the Orthodox service book renders its opening this way:
We give thanks unto thee, O Lord God of our salvation; for thou doest all things which are for the welfare of our life, that we may ever look upward unto thee, our Saviour and the Benefactor of our souls. For thou hast refreshed us in that part of the night which is past, and hast raised us up from our beds, and hast led us to stand here in adoration of thy precious Name. …
Hapgood, Service Book of the Holy Orthodox-Catholic Apostolic (Greco-Russian) Church (1906), Matins, Morning Prayer VI, p. 22
An Anglican morning thanksgiving
The Family Prayer section of the Episcopal Church’s 1928 Book of Common Prayer begins its morning prayers with thanks for the night. The first line borrows Paul’s words in Acts 17:28, “in him we live, and move, and have our being.”
Almighty and everlasting God, in whom we live and move and have our being; We, thy needy creatures, render thee our humble praises, for thy preservation of us from the beginning of our lives to this day, and especially for having delivered us from the dangers of the past night. For these thy mercies, we bless and magnify thy glorious Name; humbly beseeching thee to accept this our morning sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; for his sake who lay down in the grave, and rose again for us, thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Family Prayer, “Acknowledgment of God’s Mercy and Preservation, especially through the Night past,” p. 587
The next prayer in the book gives the new day back to God:
And since it is of thy mercy, O gracious Father, that another day is added to our lives; We here dedicate both our souls and our bodies to thee and thy service, in a sober, righteous, and godly life: in which resolution, do thou, O merciful God, confirm and strengthen us; that, as we grow in age, we may grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Family Prayer, “Dedication of Soul and Body to God’s Service,” p. 588
A Catholic morning offering
The 1888 Manual of Prayers, prepared by order of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore for American Catholics, tells the reader to say this “as soon as you are awake”:
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts: the earth is full of Thy glory. Glory be to the Father, glory be to the Son, glory be to the Holy Ghost. Amen.
A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity (1888), Another Form of Morning Prayers, p. 51
After dressing, it gives this thanksgiving and offering of the day:
O my God, I most humbly thank Thee for all the favors Thou hast bestowed upon me up to the present moment. I give Thee thanks from the bottom of my heart that Thou hast created me after Thine own image and likeness, that Thou hast redeemed me by the precious blood of Thy dear Son, and that Thou hast preserved me and brought me safe to the beginning of another day. I offer to Thee, O Lord, my whole being, and in particular all my thoughts, words, actions, and sufferings of this day. I consecrate them all to the glory of Thy name, beseeching Thee that through the infinite merits of Jesus Christ my Saviour they may all find acceptance in Thy sight. May Thy divine love animate them, and may they all tend to Thy greater glory.
A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity (1888), Another Form of Morning Prayers, p. 52
A prayer for protection through the day
Morning Prayer in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer closes with this collect, which asks for safety in the hours ahead.
O Lord, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; Defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings, being ordered by thy governance, may be righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Morning Prayer, “A Collect for Grace,” p. 17
The General Thanksgiving
This prayer of thanks for everything, from creation to “the hope of glory,” comes from the same book’s Morning Prayer.
Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we, thine unworthy servants, do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us, and to all men. … We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. …
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Morning Prayer, “A General Thanksgiving,” p. 19

For life and health. Father, thank you for breath, for a body that works, for eyes to see this morning’s light. If I am well today, keep me from taking it for granted; if I am not, give me patience and good care. “In him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28). Amen.

For mercy that starts again. Lord, yesterday I fell short, and you have not given up on me. “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22–23). Forgive me, and let me begin again. Amen.

Amen.
For kind words and patience. God, guard my mouth today. Make me “swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (James 1:19), and help me to forgive quickly. “Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD” (Psalm 19:14). Amen.
For my work. Lord, bless the work in front of me today, whether it is paid or not. Help me to focus, to do it well and to be honest in it. “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Colossians 3:23). Amen.
When I wake up worried. Father, the worries were waiting for me before I got out of bed. I hand them to you with thanks for what you have already done. “Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6). Amen.
To be useful to someone. Lord Jesus, show me one person today who needs help, a kind word or my time, and give me the will to give it. “By love serve one another” (Galatians 5:13). Amen.
For the beauty of the morning. God, thank you for the first light, the birdsong, the cold air, the coffee. “O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches” (Psalm 104:24). Amen.
For the world. Father, as your word asks, I pray and give thanks “for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life” (1 Timothy 2:1–2). Bring peace where there is war today, and help to the poor and the sick. Amen.
Giving the day to God. Lord, I have plans for today, but you know better. Change them if you need to. “Not my will, but thine, be done” (Luke 22:42). Thank you in advance for everything this day will hold. “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18). Amen.
