Prayer for the Day is a religious radio programme broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in the United Kingdom.
It comprises a 2-minute reading or prayer and reflection to start the day.
In 1983 the programme, which had always gone on air at 6.50am, was moved to 6.25am and replaced by a "Business News" slot.
Since 1998 it has been broadcast each day between 5.43 and 5.45. a.m. before Farming Today.
