A Prayer for a Manic Monday

Father,

I woke up with my eye twitching, 

a sure sign that my nervous system is in overdrive 

as I think of all the things I need to get done on this Monday.

Set my mind on things above, 

on your sovereign and sure reign 

over every plan and purpose in this cosmos, 

of which you are the Creator. 

For anyone feeling manic, whether literally or metaphorically, 

fix our minds firmly on Christ, who is our life, 

and on the day we will “appear with him in glory” (Colossians 3:4).

In Jesus’ calming name. Amen.

Read Colossians 3:1-4.
