Heavenly Father,

We thank you for the restful weekend you have given us. We have been able to recharge ourselves physically and spiritually so that we can face the challenges of the week ahead with strength and peace. We ask you to bless each day of the coming week. Give us strength for our ministry, service and work, patience in the face of difficulties, and wisdom to make the right decisions. Help us to treat our fellow human beings with love and mercy, and to seek your will in all our actions. Protect us from evil and guide us in Your light. Be with us in every moment and help us to give thanks for Your blessings at the end of the week with grateful hearts.

Amen.
