Prayer for the Day: Monday Devotion
Introduction
Monday often greets us with full calendars and heavy expectations. Yet it is also a new beginning—a blank page in the story of grace. What we bring into the week matters less than who walks with us through it. Monday devotion is not about conquering the week ahead but about committing it to God.
Before the emails, meetings, and errands begin, take a moment to remember that you are already loved, already held, already enough. When faith starts the week, peace follows.
This prayer is for those who want to begin the week with steady hearts and open hands, trusting that the same God who blessed yesterday will be faithful today.
Scripture
“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.”
— Proverbs 16:3 (NRSV)
Reflection
Mondays can carry both promise and pressure. The temptation is to sprint ahead, relying on our own strength to get through. But Proverbs 16 reminds us that success begins not with strategy but with surrender. To commit our work to the Lord is to trust Him with both outcomes and obstacles.
When we start our week in prayer, we are reminded that every meeting, every task, and every conversation can be sacred. Work becomes worship when done in faith. Even in the chaos of a Monday morning, God’s Spirit whispers calm and clarity.
So before diving into your to-do list, pause for a moment. Let gratitude set the tone for the day. God’s grace has already gone ahead of you.
