Finishing the First Week Back
“The LORD is my strength and my shield . . .”
Psalm 28:7a (NKJV)
As we wrap up this first full week after the holidays, it’s good to pause and recognize God’s steady help. This week wasn’t about big moments. It was about finding our rhythm again. We focused on showing up and doing the work in front of us.
And God was in all of it.
He gave strength when we felt a little sluggish. He provided focus when we were catching up. He offered grace for the routine tasks that make up most of our days. Finishing this week is a reminder. God meets us not just in the special seasons. He is there in the ordinary ones too.
As we head into the weekend, let’s carry gratitude for His quiet faithfulness. We can also have confidence that He’ll walk with us into next week as well.
Father, thank You for helping me finish this first week back. Thank You for steady strength, clear moments of focus, and Your presence in the routine. Refresh my heart this weekend and prepare me for the week ahead. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!
