In this post, we will look at Monday prayer. We will be on two main points one on praying Monday prayers especially for your week and the other on sharing Monday prayers with a family member or a friend. So, let’s begin…
Mondays.
Yup the start of the week. This could be a happy exciting thing for you or something you are not too thrilled about. I like what Marcus Aurelius (an emperor of Rome) outlook was,
““When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love…”
And I would like to add… to have Jesus! I 100% agree with Marcus Aurelius and Monday is a privilege and an opportunity to spend some time with Jesus and pray. This can make for a spectacular day and the start of a week.
And that’s exactly what we are going to look at today! Prayer can literally change our day. I remember a preacher once said, “If you want to change your future…then pray.”
That little sentence changed my whole outlook on prayer. It showed me that I had an opportunity to meet with God and see things change not only in my life but in the lives of those I prayed for.
So, my hope today whatever you use these prayers for your personal time with the Lord or you are sharing them with a friend or family member. I hope it blesses and encourages you to draw closer to Him.
Prayer Tips Before Starting
Prayer is such a beautiful and powerful thing we can do as Christians. But sometimes praying pre-written prayers can come off as lifeless. And that is because these prayers came from someone else.
We can avoid this by remember and practicing these simple tips.
- First, read the prayer before praying. Make sure you understand what it’s about and if it’s something you should be praying for.
- Personalize The Prayer- Take the prayer and change it to be personalized to your situation. Add people if needed.
- Be Inspired – Let the prayer inspire your prayer time. You don’t even need to pray it back to God. Use it as a diving board to spring you into your own authentic and real prayer with Him.
- Pre-Written prayers are tools to inspire and learn from. They should never replace your personal prayer time.
- Don’t become emotionally unattached to your prayers. You want your prayers to come from your heart and have feeling. The Lord desires to hear from YOU. Not from a book of prayers or a website of prayers. We see this throughout scripture like Hannah’s prayer, Moses’ prayer, and King David’s prayers.
- Don’t pray a pre-written prayer if you don’t feel some kind of connection to what is written. We are all in different times and seasons in life. Sometimes a prayer will resonate with you and sometimes it won’t.
- Let the Holy Spirit Guide You – Before praying ask the Holy Spirit to lead your prayer time and show you things you should pray. God will place people and situations in your mind to pray for.
