Monday Morning


Father,

Sometimes we fail miserably. Sometimes we fail just enough for everything to seem off kilter just a hair, but that hair can seem as wide as a chasm. Only you can bridge the chasm.
Father, help us. We are a frail people who wake up on Monday mornings already missing the weekend and dreading the week…
But the only way Monday morning can be on kilter again is to begin with you. To begin in your Presence—knowing your Presence helps and changes everything and all things. Your Presence cleanses. Your Presence heals. Your Presence fortifies. Your Presence steadies. Your Presence transforms.
We praise you. We praise you this morning for your goodness. Your faithfulness. Your holiness. Your kindness. Thank you for your covenant love extended to us. Over and over and over.
Father, draw us into your Presence on this Monday morning. Help us to lay aside the blunders and the failures of the weekend. Help us to put into your hands the hours of the coming week.
Father, we need you.

In the name of Jesus.

Amen
