Prayer for the Working
"Lord Jesus, as I enter this work place, I bring your
presence with me. I speak Your peace, Your grace, and Your
perfect order into the atmosphere of this office.
I acknowledge Your Lordship over all that will be spoken,
thought, decided, and accomplished within these walls. Lord
Jesus, I thank You for the gifts you have deposited in me.
I do not take them lightly but commit to using them
responsibly and well. Give me a fresh supply of truth and
beauty on which to draw as I do my job.
Anoint my creativity, my ideas, my energy, so that even my
smallest task may bring You honour. Lord, when I am
confused, guide me. When I am weary, energize me Lord, when
I am burned out, infuse me with the light of the Holy
Spirit.
May the work that I do and the way I do it, bring hope,
life, and courage to all I come in contact with today. And,
Oh Lord, even in this day's most stressful moments, may I
rest in You.
In the mighty Name that is above all Names, in the Matchless
Name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus, I pray, Amen
