Find renewal and inspiration with our uplifting Prayer to Start the Week. Let’s embrace the week ahead with hope and positivity!
It’s a common joke that everyone hates Mondays. Starting a new week can be daunting when you don’t know what’s ahead of you and what challenges you might face in the coming days. However, starting a new week doesn’t need to be scary when you come before the Lord and start it the right way with prayer.
Each of these prayers has been hand-crafted to be used as a prayer to start the week so that you can enter into God’s presence and ask Him to go before you and bless your week. We pray that these will be a blessing to you and give you the space to ask God to guide you and provide for you in the coming days.
