I was up early as usual, reading and sipping my coffee. I heard my husband’s alarm go off. A few minutes later he shuffled through the living room. “Morning came early,” he mumbled as he dragged himself up the stairs to shower.

I had to laugh. Yes, Monday is the hardest day of the week for most.  The harsh reality of the working world, after a couple of days off.

Not a morning person? Wish it were still the weekend? Me too. Now don’t get me wrong, I love my job. I even like getting up early. It’s just that whole Monday thing.

I’m going to sneak a few verses in before you’re awake enough to realize what’s happening.  After all, who is the best one to turn to for all of our needs? I love this one:

“In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.”  Psalm 5:3 (NIV)   Wait in expectation.

Need some guidance?

“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.”   Psalm 143:8 (NIV)

Need a laugh? How about this prayer:

And that’s what I have for you this Monday. Make it a good one!
