The Warrior’s Way to Begin the Week
There was a time when Mondays felt like battle.
Not just because of the early starts or back-to-back tasks. It was deeper—a soul fatigue, a low hum of resistance against another week of trying to keep it together. I’d lace up like I was entering the cage, not a calendar. Angry. Heavy. Exhausted.
Over time, God taught me a new way to begin. I learned not to start with fire in my fists. Instead, I should begin with stillness in my soul.
This is the way of the warrior monk.
We don’t charge blindly.
We pause.
We pray.
We breathe.
Then we move—with intention, not impulse.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9 (NLT)
MONDAY IS NOT YOUR ENEMY.
It’s your training ground.
And you don’t walk into it alone.
This week, don’t just hustle. Don’t just grind. Don’t just get through.
Fight well. Live slow. Trust deeply.
Reflect:
What mindset are you carrying into this week—faith or fear?
Are you fighting for something that no longer deserves your energy?
Where do you need courage more than control?
Prayer for the Warrior’s Week:
God of the first breath,
Equip me today with more than strength—give me courage.
Train my spirit to move at Your pace.
Shield my heart from distraction, and let peace guard my mind.
Let this week be marked by faith, not force.
Amen.
Call to Action:
Before the noise, before the rush—take 15 minutes.
Sit in silence.
Read Joshua 1 out loud.
Write one word that will define your week.
Breathe deep and set your intention: I fight from peace, not panic.
WARRIOR’S WISDOM:
“We don’t fight for victory. We fight from it.”“Strength begins where striving ends.”
