I’m not a religious person, but I thought the start of a new week deserved some kind of “multi-faith” words of hope. here is my Monday Prayer.

Monday Prayer

To whom it may concern …

May I go into this new week with joy and unbounded naive optimism.

May I take pleasure in every task, no matter how small or futile.

May I go into this week with the patience to suffer fools and the courage to confront them.

May I be tolerant of others and may I forgive their misdemeanors.

May I achieve my goals and help others in achieving theirs.

May I find purpose where there is none.

May I bring sense where it is lacking.

May I love my family and those that love me and may I try to love those who don’t.

I pray for a hassle free week.

May I still be alive at the end of this week to enjoy the weekend.
