Lord, it’s time for a fresh start and what better day to to start than on a Monday! My life and life around me have been a mess for quite a long time. But, as of last week, I am out of that relationship and all of those circumstances. Today, I begin anew!
Cliche’ as it may be, this really is the first day of the rest of my life. I know it will take time to shed the habits and thought patterns of my old life. I know each day will have its own challenges. But on this Monday, I pray for a good day, a positive day. I pray that when this day is over, I will have a tangible sense that I am heading in the right direction.
I need affirmation and confirmation that this fresh start is the way to go. I need to hear your voice saying to me, “Look neither to the right nor the left, but this is the way and walk in it.” Help me Lord! I choose to believe that I went through all I went through to get to this point because it was your will and your way.
I ask that you show me on this Monday that is true. I’m a weak human, Lord, so I need something that shows me I made the right decision. I pray this prayer in the faith in you God, who is the same yesterday, now, and always. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
