Lisa Harper Inspired Daily Prayer | November 13, 2026

Some mornings the only prayer you can put together is a few words at the kitchen sink. The house is busy, your thoughts are scattered, or you simply do not know what you feel yet. This Lisa Harper inspired daily prayer for November 13, 2026 is an invitation to bring that very morning to God.

Today’s Scripture

“Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.” — Psalm 62:8b, KJV

A refuge is somewhere you can go while a storm is still going on. The psalm’s invitation to pour out your heart leaves room for feelings you have only begun to understand. Try saying one plain sentence about what is happening in your life. Leave a little space after it. The prayer can be as simple as that.

A Prayer to Come as You Are

Father, here I am. You see the room I am in, the work waiting for me, and the feeling I cannot quite name. Help me stop trying to find impressive words. Let me tell You about the part of my morning that is hardest to carry and the small thing that has already made me smile.

Help me be gentle when I struggle to concentrate. When a noise or a worry interrupts this prayer, let me return to You with patience. If I am tired, help me notice what rest might look like today. Give me the courage to ask someone to share a task or sit with me for a while.

Thank You for the people with whom I can speak plainly. Show me how to be that kind of company for someone else. Help me listen when their story comes out in pieces. Give me patience with a pause and the good sense to ask whether they would like advice or simply someone to hear them.

Let the welcome I find in prayer shape the way I return to my day. Give me an honest word for a difficult conversation and a kind response when someone interrupts my plans. When I need to put something right, help me begin simply. Thank You for hearing me as I am and walking with me into the next ordinary hour. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

One Small Step Today

Take a brief pause wherever you already are. Say, “God, here is what I am carrying,” and name one thing. If a person comes to mind who would listen kindly, consider making time to talk with them.
