Pastor Greg Laurie Inspired Daily Prayer | November 13, 2026
Before the first errand or conversation, you may already be thinking about what needs attention. A moment of thanks can help you notice what has been given to you as well. This Pastor Greg Laurie inspired daily prayer for November 13, 2026 invites you to begin with one specific reason for gratitude and carry that attention into the rest of your day.
Today’s Scripture
“Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” — Psalm 100:4, KJV
Psalm 100 invites a community to come before God with thanks. You can use its words in an ordinary morning at home. Think of something close enough to name clearly. It may be a person who checked on you, a task you were able to finish, or a few quiet minutes before the day gets busy. Give that particular gift a place in your prayer.
A Prayer to Begin with Thanks
Father, thank You for this morning. I bring You the people and responsibilities I will meet today. Before I begin working through the list, help me notice one good thing I have received. Give me words to thank You for it simply and sincerely.
Thank You for the people who care for me in ordinary ways. Bring to mind a message, a meal, or an explanation someone took time to give. Help me remember the effort behind it. If I have a chance to thank that person, give me a clear sentence that tells them what I appreciated.
Give me a grateful response to the work I am able to do. Help me see the skills I have learned and the people who helped me practice them. Where something is still difficult, give me patience to ask for help. Let me recognize a useful step when I have taken it and enjoy the relief of finishing a task.
Help me keep noticing as the day unfolds. There may be a good conversation, a welcome break, or a moment of laughter I could easily miss. Let gratitude make me more attentive to another person’s needs. Thank You for hearing the concerns I carry alongside my thanks. Give me a willing heart for today’s work and a quiet moment to remember its gifts this evening. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
One Small Step Today
Name one reason for thanks before beginning your first task. At the end of the day, add one more. If a person is part of either memory, consider telling them what their kindness meant.
