Pastor Greg Laurie Inspired Daily Prayer | November 14, 2026

Some mornings the worries arrive before your feet touch the floor. A bill that is due on Friday. A test result you are still waiting on. A conversation with your son or daughter that you keep putting off because you are not sure how it will go. Before you have even had your coffee, your mind is already running through what could go wrong.

This Pastor Greg Laurie inspired daily prayer for November 14, 2026 invites you to slow down and do something very simple: name those worries to God, one at a time, and let Him carry them with you. You do not need perfect words. You only need to be honest.

Today’s Scripture

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:6-7, KJV

Paul wrote these words while he was in chains, unsure of what would happen to him. Yet he told his friends not to be anxious and to bring everything to God. In old English, “be careful for nothing” means “do not be full of care.” He was not telling them to stop caring about people or responsibilities. He was showing them where to put the weight.

Worry has a way of staying vague. It sits on your chest like a heavy blanket, and you cannot quite say what is under it. Prayer pulls the blanket back. When you tell God, “I am worried about the rent,” or “I am afraid for my mother’s health,” the worry gets a name and a place to go. Notice too that Paul adds “with thanksgiving.” Gratitude does not erase the problem, but it reminds you that the God who helped you before is the same God listening now.

Take a moment before you read the prayer. Think of the two or three things that are weighing on you most this morning. Hold them in mind as you pray.

A Prayer to Hand Over Today’s Worries

Father, You already know what is on my mind this morning. You saw me lying awake last night, and You know the thoughts that came back as soon as I opened my eyes. Still, You invite me to tell You. So here is what I am carrying today. I bring You the things I cannot fix, the people I am concerned about, and the plans that feel uncertain. I set them before You one by one.

When my thoughts start running ahead to the worst possible outcome, gently bring me back to this day. Help me remember that I only have to live today, not next month. Give me a steady heart for the next thing in front of me, whether it is making breakfast, answering an email, or driving someone to school. If there is a call I need to make or a step I need to take, give me the courage to do it. If there is nothing I can do right now, help me leave it in Your hands and stop picking it back up.

Teach me to pray with thanks, even while I still have needs. Thank You for the roof over my head and for the meal I will eat today. Thank You for the people who love me, even when I am not easy to love. Thank You for the times You carried me through situations I thought would break me. Let those memories remind me that I have never faced a hard day alone, and I am not facing this one alone either.

Lord, I also bring You the people I worry about. You love them more than I do. Watch over them today. Where they are struggling, send help. Where they are making choices I cannot control, give me wisdom to know when to speak and when to simply pray.

Guard my heart and my mind with Your peace, the kind of peace that does not make sense on paper. When worry comes knocking again later today, let me turn it into a short prayer instead of a long night of fretting. Thank You for listening every single time. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

One Small Step Today

Write down one worry on a piece of paper or in the notes app on your phone. Underneath it, write one sentence of prayer, such as “Lord, I give this to You today.” Then add one thing you are thankful for right beside it. Keep the note with you. When the worry comes back, read the prayer and the thank-you again instead of replaying the problem.

Let’s Encourage One Another

What is one worry you are handing to God today? Share it in a few words in the comments so others can pray alongside you. And if you see someone else’s request, take ten seconds to pray for them by name. Small prayers add up.
