wednesday morning prayer
Sometimes Wednesday’s can be a difficult time, for on this day the weekend can feel a long way off! This page has prayers that will hopefully inspire your faith during the midweek. We begin with a Wednesday morning prayer which recalls the power and presence of the Holy Trinity in our lives. This is followed by a prayer for a fruitful day, and bible blessing from the psalms for your meditation and reflection. We end with a short nighttime prayer which dwells on the majesty and beauty of our Lord.
What is Holy Wednesday? This is a special Wednesday during Holy Week (a week that culminates with Easter Sunday and the celebration of our Risen Lord). Sometimes referred to as “Spy” Wednesday, the day marks the time when Judas Iscariot reaches an agreement with the Sanhedrin (the Jewish leaders of the day) to hand Jesus over in exchange for money (
Matthew 26:14–16). In doing so Judas betrays Jesus, an event that was also prophesied in one of David’s Psalms:
“Even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me”. (Psalm 41:9, NIV)
Wednesday morning prayer
Lord on this day of the week I recall the strength of the Trinity in my life. Thank you for the strands that hold me safe in the Father, that bring redemption and grace in the Son, and freedom and hope through the Holy Spirit. Thank you for this cord of strength. May I celebrate with the Three that encircle my life! And this day may I give out the love of the Father, the grace of the Son and the freedom of the Holy Spirit in all I do. Amen.
May Wednesday be a dwelling day,
Curled up on Abba's knee.
Following in the path of Christ,
With His Spirit I'm set free.
Let Wednesday always prompt my heart
To travel home to nest.
To feel the blessings of my faith
To know Your peace and rest.

A Prayer for a Fruiful Day
Dear Lord,
Sometimes days can feel a little mundane,
Neither new nor fresh like the start of a week,
Nor close to the end of one with rest at the weekend.
So, I give you any feelings of fatigue or restlessness I have.
Each moment today,
You have called me to follow you, in a journey of faith and connection.
Help me to make the very most of this Wednesday.
May I fully engage with each person I meet today.
May I find meaningful and productive ways to serve others.
May I not become a slave of enticing distractions.
Lord, today I commit each thought to you in prayer.
Come renew my energy for life and my passion for service,
For you are a great God and forever worthy of my praise.
Amen.
