5 Bible verses for better Mondays

When Mondays are difficult to endure, here are some Bible verses to pick up your spirits.

Mondays in modern culture are notoriously linked to a more depressed outlook on life. The weekend is over and now it is back to “real life.”

While we can sulk in our depression, it’s much better to open-up a Bible and see what God’s word has to say to us. Here are five such verses that can help lift us up and turn around our Mondays.

1. FOR I KNOW WELL THE PLANS I HAVE IN MIND FOR YOU—ORACLE OF THE LORD—PLANS FOR YOUR WELFARE AND NOT FOR WOE, SO AS TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE OF HOPE. WHEN YOU CALL ME, AND COME AND PRAY TO ME, I WILL LISTEN TO YOU. WHEN YOU LOOK FOR ME, YOU WILL FIND ME. YES, WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART. (JEREMIAH 29:11-13)

2. LORD, BE GRACIOUS TO US; FOR YOU WE WAIT. BE OUR STRENGTH EVERY MORNING, OUR SALVATION IN TIME OF TROUBLE! (ISAIAH 33:2)

3. MY SOUL, BE AT REST IN GOD ALONE, FROM WHOM COMES MY HOPE. GOD ALONE IS MY ROCK AND MY SALVATION, MY FORTRESS; I SHALL NOT FALL. (PSALM 62:6-7)

4. COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND ARE BURDENED, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU AND LEARN FROM ME, FOR I AM MEEK AND HUMBLE OF HEART; AND YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOURSELVES. (MATTHEW 11:28-29)

5. THEREFORE, MY BELOVED BROTHERS, BE FIRM, STEADFAST, ALWAYS FULLY DEVOTED TO THE WORK OF THE LORD, KNOWING THAT IN THE LORD YOUR LABOR IS NOT IN VAIN. ( 1 CORINTHIANS 15:58)
