Quotes for Morning & Evening
Christian quotes for Morning & Evening — with author, dates and source, from two millennia of Christian thought.
By gentle powers wonderfully sheltered, we quietly await what e'er may come. God is with us at evening and in morning, and most assuredly on each new day.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
And when this cup of silence now spreads deep around us, let us hear that full sound of the world, which invisibly widens around us, the exalted song of praise of all Your children.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Do you see the moon standing there? It's only half visible, and yet it's round and lovely! So it is with many things that we lightly laugh about, because our eyes cannot see them.
Matthias Claudius
In me it is dark, but with you there is light; I am lonely, but you do not leave me.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
You have touched my eyelids. I sleep without worry. He who led me into this night will guide me also tomorrow.
Jochen Klepper
Jesus, I entrust my past to your mercy — my present to your love, and my future to your providence.
Padre Pio of Pietrelcina
Pray, and let God worry.
Martin Luther
How many of our sleepless hours might be traced to our untrusting and disordered minds. They slumber sweetly whom faith rocks to sleep. No pillow so soft as a promise; no coverlet so warm as an assured interest in Christ.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
In me there is bitterness, but with you there is patience; I do not understand your ways, but you know the right path for me.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.
Hudson Taylor
I ask you, Lord, for the great strength to endure this small day, to take one small step further on the great road to you.
Ernst Ginsberg
Yesterday is over, tomorrow is not yet here, and today the Lord helps.
Hermann von Bezzel
He wakes me every morning; he wakens even my ear. God does not hide himself, he leads the day up for me, so that with his word I greet the new light. Already at dawn's gate he is near me and speaks.
Jochen Klepper
He wants to wrap me early with his word and light, to promise and to fulfill, so that I lack nothing; he will pay me full wages, not asking whether I fail. His word will shine bright, however dark the day may be!
Jochen Klepper
As a camel kneels before its master so he can take the burden off at the end of the day, so kneel down every evening and let the Master take your burden off you.
Corrie ten Boom
I sleep in the name of the Lord and know that my sleep too is pleasing to God.
Martin Luther
We receive faith from God always only as much as we need for the present day. Faith is the daily bread that God gives us.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Lord, grant me a weak eye for things that do not matter, and a strong eye for all your truth.
Søren Kierkegaard
My first morning hour belongs to the Lord. The work he assigns me, I want to take up, and he will give me the strength to accomplish it. I take what comes and only ask that I be given the abilities needed for it.
Edith Stein
I pray that you all put your shoes far under the bed at night, so that the next morning you have to kneel down in front of it to find them. And while you're kneeling there, thank God for his grace and mercy and understanding. We all fall short of his expectations.
Denzel Washington
The day is the boundary of our worry and toil. It is long enough to find God or to lose him, to keep faith or to fall into sin and shame. That is why God created day and night, so that we would not wander in the boundless, but already in the morning see before us the goal of the evening.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The bird rests in the air, the stone on the ground, the fish in the water — and I in the hands of God.
Angelus Silesius
It is a good rule never to look into the face of a man in the morning till you have looked into the face of God.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Lord Jesus Christ, you were poor and wretched, captive and forsaken as I am. You know all human need; you remain with me when no one stands by me; you do not forget me and you seek me; you want me to know you and to turn to you. Lord, I hear your call and follow. Help me! Holy Spirit, give me the faith that saves me from despair and vice. Give me the love for God and for others that destroys all hatred and bitterness; give me the hope that frees me from fear and faintheartedness. Teach me to know Jesus Christ and to do his will.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A peaceful sleep can bear witness to more trust in God than a hasty prayer.
Martin Luther
I must kneel before the Father, must place my ear against His chest and listen, listen without interruption to the heartbeat of God. Then, and only then, can I say gently, carefully, and very quietly what I hear.
Henri Nouwen
Prayer is speech at its most alive. The breath that is breathed into us by God we breathe back to God.
Eugene Peterson
Why is everyone hungry for more ? “More, more,” they say. “More, more.” I have GOD’s more-than-enough, More joy in one ordinary day Than they get in all their shopping sprees. At day’s end I’m ready for sound sleep, For you, GOD, have put my life back together.
Eugene Peterson
Silence is like a coat God lays around us.
Hanna Hümmer
Pray that thy last days, and last works may be the best; and that when thou comest to die, thou mayest have nothing else to do but die.

Every new morning is a new beginning of our life. Every day is a self-contained whole.
