A prayer not to just make it through Monday.

I constantly seem to wish my life away to the weekend. Monday I normally label “make it through Monday”. But life shouldn’t be about making it through the day. It should be about living, embracing life and dropping the labels. My Monday today isn’t defined by making it through the day. 

Dear Jesus,
I have already woken up feeling like I just need to make it through Monday. 
This is not right and I don't want to wish my life away. 
The news is doom and gloom,
My energy levels low. 
Before my day starts, let me take rest in you. 
Restore me,renew me, refresh me. 
Bless me with joy, 
Give me energy, passion,
And a heart for you. 
Let my day be led by you. 
Help me to share your love today,
Spread your joy and enjoy my day. 
Work,play and family time,
Let it all be to glorify you. 
Amen.

Free from the lies to see the truth.

Life seems to be a battle at the moment. 
Too many grey clouds in my head. 
The enemy has found a crack in my armour,
An arrow of lies seeping into my mind. 

But lies have no substance,
And aren't from my God. 
A God who sent his Son for me, to die for truth and liberty. 

A lie binds and holds you back.
It has no basis, no love no future. 
It wants to keep me chained & depressed. 
Making me think lifes no good.
Making me think I'm no good. 

I call out for my saviour,
Let him remove the fear,
With a cross of love,accepted in my heart so sincere.
A weapon to smash all chains, so that I can see the truth appear. 

I am more than Ok,happy and blessed.
The fuzziness starts to fade in my head,
as I remember I am so loved. 
I am unique, not like you, and for that matter you are not like me, 
For we are all created and loved individually. 

The truth can only smash the lies,
As I pray for the fruit of the Spirit,
To bring me joy, peace patience and more,
And the clouds in my head disappear.

I am a child of God, loved, blessed, free and held. 
I am only encouraged by all the truth brings,
As I open my eyes and let the light in.
Let me be the lamp of encouragement, I was made to be.

So if your feeling low today,
Know that you are special,loved and free.
You are worth EVERYTHING  to the one who set you free. 
Tell the lies you are worth it all the the man who died on the cross for you.


For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

2 Corinthians 13:8
