Prayer for the Working

"Lord Jesus, as I enter this work place,
I bring your presence with me.
I ask Your peace, Your grace, and Your perfect order
to penetrate 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 honor.

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 Savior Jesus,
I pray, Amen.
