Prayer to start the week

God, as we start the week help us to stand well and be ready to start all that we need to do. There are many times when we lack the motivation and being demotivated is the worst thing that can happen. Talk to us and make us understand the reason why we need to do something so that we start on our own and not because someone pushed us from behind.
Christ Jesus, sometimes we are slow to start because we don’t have a manual to learn from. But knowing you and understanding your teachings should be a manual in itself. Prevent us from thinking of the finish line and instead make us concentrate on our start.

Holy Spirit, we can win even after a bad start by concentrating on our lane and learning how to use our energy and speed. Support us to concentrate on our lane instead of looking at all other lanes but our own. This week help us to start the race knowing that God will help us finish it well. Amen.
