eople are excited about getting up on Monday mornings to go to work. Most of us need encouragement and motivation to face whatever we will encounter that day or week. This devotional was written with you in mind. It was written to inspire you and strengthen you as you face the various challenges life brings. The truth is, all of us will face difficulties, but how we handle those experiences will make a difference in the outcome and in our quality of life. All the messages are based on the Bible and provide inspiration as you look to the week ahead.

However, this devotional is not a substitute for the Bible or church, nor is it a replacement for your therapist. It is a complement to the systems you already have in place to help you along life's journey. Use it weekly and meditate on the scripture and message daily so that you will always be inspired to give your best. This devotional will challenge you to take bold steps. It will affirm you, and it will guide you. So if you are someone who, from time to time, needs an encouraging word and inspiration, this is the devotional for you. May the Lord use these messages to bless you.
