Mondays can be tough. The start of the week brings new possibilities, but it also makes it easy to get overwhelmed by the struggles of work, school, and our daily tasks. As we head into the week, we often need a reminder that we are not alone, that we are connected to something greater than our struggles, to someone from whom we can seek guidance, strength, and blessings. A Monday morning prayer probably won’t solve your problems overnight, but it can bring peace and joy to your week and lead to blessings you didn’t expect.
Not sure how to start your week with a Monday morning prayer? Here are some tips that you can use to create your own Monday prayer habit.
