It is Monday morning, and I have a whole week of work lying ahead of me. There will be scheduled activity, and there is always something unexpected.

I will start today and this week, as I have started a thousand times before. I will physically get down on my knees (I use a pad on the ground now) and I will pray. I will ask God to bless my family, forgive my mistakes, and guide my life and ministry so that I can make a positive impact for his kingdom.

Real and lasting impact on this world only happens when our efforts are met with God’s power. I would not want to start another week without first talking to God … and I hope you won’t either.
