Sunday Night Devotional:
Preparing the Ground for Monday
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts..."
— Colossians 3:15
Sunday evening has a feeling all its own. The weekend is drawing to a close, the house is finally quiet, and if we aren't careful, the mental checklist for Monday morning can start crowding out our peace before the sun even comes up.
It’s easy to let Sunday night turn into a time of wrestling with tomorrow's anxieties. We start thinking about the long to-do lists, the miles to drive, the phone calls to make, and the unexpected fires we might have to put out.
But just like a good rancher prepares the ground before planting, or a crew readies the pens before a big sale, Sunday night is meant for preparation—not just for our schedules, but for our souls.
True preparation doesn't mean having every single detail figured out. It means deciding right now, before the alarm goes off, who we are trusting with the week ahead. When we consciously hand Monday over to the Lord on Sunday night, we trade our anxiety for His peace. Every step we take this week—from the first phone call tomorrow morning to the final gavel on Friday—is a step we take under His guidance.
We can sleep soundly tonight knowing that the God who sustained us through last week is already standing in the days to come, laying the groundwork for another great week of business and fellowship.
So, put down the checklist, take a deep breath, and let your mind rest. The trucks will run tomorrow, the work will get done, and the Lord will provide exactly what we need for each day as we push toward another awesome sale day this Friday.
A Sunday Night Prayer
from our office manager, Chris:
Heavenly Father, God, as we look toward the start of a brand new week, we hand it over to You. Quiet our minds tonight and give us restful sleep. Remove any worry about tomorrow, and help us step into Monday morning with clear vision, a steady heart, and the confidence that You are leading the way. Thank you for your grace, mercy, and love. Thank you for all of the blessings, both counted and unknown. Go with us and guide us now. Guide our steps all week long as we prepare for Friday’s sale.
It’s in Jesus name we pray,
Amen.
