Monday. Here it is again.

For some of you, Monday arrives full of possibility — a clean page, a fresh start. For others it lands like a weight. The alarm goes off and before you've even opened your eyes, the list has already started in your head.

Wherever you are with Monday, this prayer is for you.

In this episode we take one breath before the week begins — just one — and from that small pause, we ask. For clarity. For energy that is steady rather than frantic. For at least one moment of genuine human connection. For things to go more smoothly than we expect. For the grace not to catastrophise when they don't.

This is not a productivity prayer. It is not about performing a perfect week. It is about walking into Monday with eyes open and heart open, one moment at a time — and trusting that showing up consistently, faithfully, without heroics, is enough.

It is enough. Let's go.

Six minutes. Coffee optional. Let's begin.
