Hello  ,

It's Monday....are you ready for this week of work and busy-ness?  If you answered "No," join the club.  For some reason I'm just exhausted, and I'm not looking forward to a full week of work, deadlines, and days filled with more things to do than I can possibly accomplish.

I must pray more!

Whenever I feel this way, I am compelled to re-examine my prayer life.  When life gets super busy (and tiring), God has a rest for my soul as I spend extra time in prayer with Him.  Let me challenge you to seek God in a very special way today.  Take a bit of extra time with Him (whether you're exhausted or not), and see if your day (and week) doesn't go better.

Have a great day and God bless!...Oh, and hang in there, I'm praying for you!

Pastor Mike / The Open Word
