A Prayer for Each Day of the Week

Author unknown

Many years ago women used to set aside a particular day of the week for their daily homemaking duties.  It wasn't a hard and fast rule, but many followed this schedule.  Someone put a meaningful pray to each day.

Monday - Wash Day
Lord, help me wash away all my selfishness and vanity, so I may serve you with perfect humility through the week ahead.

Tuesday - Ironing Day

Dear Lord, help me iron out all the wrinkles of prejudice I have collected though the years so that I may see the beauty in others.

Wednesday - Mending Day
O God, help me mend my ways so I will not set a bad example for others.

Thursday - Cleaning Day

Lord Jesus, help me to dust out all the many faults I have been hiding in the secret corners of my heart.

Friday - Shopping Day

O God, give me the grace to shop wisely so I may purchase eternal happiness for myself and all others in need of love.

Saturday - Cooking Day
Help
me, my Savior, to brew a big kettle of brotherly love and serve it with clean, sweet bread of human kindness.

Sunday - The Lord's Day
 
O God, I have prepared my house for you. Please come into my heart so I may spend the day and the rest of my life in your presence.
