morning prayers

Sunrise spiritual practice

Morning prayers are devotional observances performed upon waking or early in the day, practiced across many religious traditions.

In Judaism, the formal morning service is called Shacharit; in Christianity, it may be called Matins or Morning Prayer depending on denomination.

The term also applies more broadly to any personal prayer routine that begins the day.

She never left for work without first saying her morning prayers.
