“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present you requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:16-7
This is a better way to kick off your new week by getting intimate with God via his words.
Monday Aches, work pressures, commuting stresses, and it’s another five days of back-to-back work.
Don’t choose to embark on these five days journey with anxiety about the rest of your week but get prepared by planning each day ahead with the master planner (that sounds right!).
Start your week with a prayer dedicating the week to the Lord, you may be surprised how much better you feel about facing another week.
Below are compilations of few verses from the Bible that will give you assurance and Joy about the rest of the week.

- “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.

I know this shall be your portion from now on till eternity!
- “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
