Mondays are often difficult for most of us, but a prayer can help lift our spirits. A simple yet meaningful prayer can set a positive mindset for the week ahead. Prayer allows us to seek God, Who is always ready to hear and help us.
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23)
A heartfelt prayer can be a beautiful way to bring a fresh start for the coming week. The best part is you can tailor your prayer concerns to whatever you need them to be.
We hope these Monday morning prayers help you to focus on seeking God's guidance and strength as you begin a new week.
