I’ve been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn’t want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Joyce Meyer
In “Letting God Out of the Sunday Morning Box: Embracing His Presence Every Day,” the author emphasizes the importance of not confining our relationship with God to just a few hours on Sundays. Instead, they encourage us to invite God into every aspect of our lives throughout the entire week. By doing so, we experience a transformative connection with God that brings purpose, joy, and peace to every moment of our lives. So, let’s let God out of the Sunday morning box and embrace His presence every day.

Meaning of Quote – I’ve been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn’t want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Many of us have grown up with the idea that God is someone we visit on Sundays. We go to church, sing some hymns, listen to a sermon, and then put Him back in His box until the next week. But what if I told you that God doesn’t want to be confined to just one day of the week? What if I told you that He wants to be a part of every single day of your life?
The quote above perfectly encapsulates this idea. It highlights the importance of not limiting our relationship with God to just a few hours on Sunday morning. Instead, it encourages us to invite Him into every aspect of our lives throughout the entire week, starting from Monday all the way to Sunday.
So, why is it essential to let God out of the Sunday morning box? Well, let’s think about it. If God is the creator of the universe, the one who knows us better than we know ourselves, why would we want to confine Him to just a few hours of worship per week? God wants to be involved in our lives not just in times of crisis or emergencies but in our everyday moments as well.
When we invite God to be a part of our Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and the rest of the week, our perspective on life begins to change. Suddenly, we’re not only seeking His guidance in times of trouble, but we’re also giving thanks for the blessings we experience daily. We’re acknowledging that every moment, whether big or small, is an opportunity for God to work in our lives.
Imagine waking up on a Monday morning and starting your day by inviting God into it. You pray for strength, guidance, and wisdom as you navigate through the challenges ahead. Throughout the day, as you encounter various situations, you pause and seek God’s perspective. You make decisions not based on your own desires but according to what aligns with His will. Your interactions with others become more compassionate and loving because you see them through God’s eyes. This is what it means to let God invade your Monday.
As the week progresses, you continue to include God in every aspect of your life. On Tuesday, you bring Him into your work or school, seeking His help and guidance in your tasks. You trust that He will provide you with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel. On Wednesday, you involve God in your relationships, both with family and friends. You pray for unity, love, and forgiveness in your interactions with others. On Thursday, you seek God’s peace and strength in times of stress or anxiety. You find solace in His presence and trust Him to carry your burdens.
Friday rolls around, and instead of planning for the weekend and forgetting about God until the next Sunday, you intentionally invite Him into your leisure time. You seek His guidance in making decisions regarding entertainment choices, ensuring that they are aligned with your values and beliefs. You take time to rest and reflect, allowing God to speak to your heart. On Saturday, you engage in acts of service, using your time and resources to help those in need. You understand that your actions are a reflection of God’s love for others.
Finally, Sunday arrives, and you gather with your fellow believers to worship and honor God. But this time, it feels different. It’s not just a routine; it’s a culmination of a week spent with God by your side. Your heart is filled with gratitude for the ways He has worked in your life throughout the past seven days. You’re excited to share your experiences and insights with others, to encourage them to let God out of the Sunday morning box too.
By letting God invade every day of our lives, we establish a continuous and deep relationship with Him. We no longer compartmentalize our faith, treating it as just another part of our busy schedules. Instead, we recognize that our connection with God is the foundation of our existence. It brings purpose, joy, and peace to every moment of our lives.
So, dear reader, I implore you to let God out of the Sunday morning box. Embrace the idea that He desires to be with you every day. Invite Him into your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Experience the transformation that comes from living each day with a heart tuned to God’s presence. And, as you do, watch as your life becomes a testament to His unfailing love and grace.
