3 Prayers to Beat Monday Blues for the Business Professionalનમૂનો

Monday Noon – Pause and Breathe

It’s noon or 1 pm, and you’ve been at it for hours, but between Monday emails and meetings or phone calls, you may feel like the day is half over and you’ve hardly touched the day’s priorities. It’s tempting to eat lunch on the run or over your keyboard or arrange a working lunch all under the banner of productivity.

King David recognized the importance of acknowledging the Lord throughout the day. “Evening and morning, and at noon, I will pray and cry aloud. And He shall hear my voice.” (Psalm 55:17 KJV) Pausing to pray midday can be empowering! Taking a moment to walk away from your desk to breathe, clear your mind, and rededicate the day to the Lord can help you approach the afternoon’s tasks or meetings with fresh eyes and renewed perspective.

Monday noon prayer:

God, I acknowledge your goodness, and I thank you for guiding me through this morning. As I pause in my workday, I breathe in your life, and I receive your perspective for the work and challenges still before me today.

Your wisdom brings peace into situations.

You gird me with the strength to approach every circumstance and every conversation with grace.

You give me understanding beyond my human comprehension to recognize spiritual warfare in my workplace and to diffuse spiritual opposition.

I humble myself before you and acknowledge that in you, I am well able to approach this afternoon’s appointments and phone calls, deadlines, and ongoing projects with joy and confidence. 

I ask you to stir creative solutions and ideas within me for the tasks at hand. Reveal what’s hidden and make possible what seems impossible as I strive to do your will in my workplace. I love you, and I declare that this day belongs to you.
