Magnificient Monday

"Do not be anxious about anything..."  Philippians 4:6a


Kyle's first day of school (2008).


It's Monday.  The beginning of a new school week is upon us. 
Tests.
Papers.
Relationships.
Homework.
So many expectations some weeks.

"But in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."  Philippians 4:6b

Anxious moments give opportunities to pray and seek Him.

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:7

Peace.
Patience.
Trust.
Strength.
Joy.

School doesn't have to be all that bad!  I'm praying for Alyssa and Kyle to have a blessed week!

Lord, we welcome a new week and all that it holds.  School has the opportunity to be stressful and crazy, but it also can hold joy and delight.  Open Alyssa and Kyle's minds to the gift of learning.  May they strive to do their best and find great satisfaction in all their work, and in moments of anxiousness, come to you in prayer.  You, precious Savior, walk with Alyssa and Kyle day by day and I pray that they meet you in their comings and goings and enjoy your peace that passes all understanding.  Thank you for this Monday, and for a new week of learning.
