Work Day Prayer

Lord Jesus, as I enter this workplace, 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.

Help me to solve the problem which lies hidden beneath my shortcomings.
Do not deliver me from these symptoms before I see what they mean.

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 Your Holy Spirit.
Give me the strength to accomplish the tasks at hand.

May the work that I do and the way I do it, bring hope, life, and courage to all that I come in contact with today.
And Oh Lord, even in this day's most stressful moment, may I rest in You.
In the name of Jesus my savior I pray. Amen.
