“Lord, as we begin this new week, I lift my heart to you in gratitude for the gift of life and the opportunity for a fresh start. Thank you for the rest and renewal we’ve experienced during the weekend. I ask for your guidance and strength to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. May your light illuminate our path, and may your peace fill our hearts. 

Help us to be mindful of your presence throughout the week, to be kind and compassionate to those around us, and to seek your wisdom in all our decisions. May we be filled with joy and hope, and may our actions reflect your love and grace.

I also pray for my family, friends, and loved ones that they may experience your blessings and your comfort. May you guide their steps, protect them from harm, and fill their lives with joy.

Lord, I commit this week into your hands, trusting that you will be with us every step of the way. In your name, I pray. Amen
