PRAYER FOR THE NEW WEEK Father in Heaven, As this new week opens before me, I come before You, the One who holds all my days in Your hands. You are holy, and I am not, yet You invite me to speak. Thank you. Lord, my schedule is tull, but my vision is short. Would You litt my eyes? Help me to see this week as a space You have made, where I can work as for You and not for people. When tasks pile up and pressures come, anchor me in the truth that my worth is found in Christ, not in what I check off a list. You know the people I will meet, the easy ones and the difficult ones. Let my words be gentle and true, my patience deep, and my love genuine. If there is a moment to offer kindness or speak of Your goodness, make me bold and make me quick. Forgive me for where I failed last week. My selfishness, my worry, my sharp words. Cleanse me again by the blood of Jesus. Start me fresh. And Father, protect those I love. Build a wall of Your angels around their coming and going. Meet them in their private struggles and give them peace that doesn't make sense. Let our homes be places where Your Spirit is welcome. I ask all of this in the powerful name of Jesus, my Savior. Amen.
