a prayer

I thought this prayer was really nice - a calm way to settle yourself before going into work each day - and so I share it with you.

Blessings to you and me - as we face yet another new week ahead.


PRAYER BEFORE STARTING WORK

My Heavenly Father, as I enter this workplace,I bring Your Presence with me,I speak Your Peace, Your Grace, Your Mercy,And Your Perfect Order into this office.

I acknowledge Your Power over all that will be spoken, thought, decided and done within these walls.Lord, I thank You for the gifts You have blessed me with.I commit to using them responsibly in Your Honor.

Give me a fresh supply of strength to do my job.Anoint my projects, ideas and energy so that even my smallest accomplishment may bring You Glory.

Lord, when I am confused, guide me.

When I am weary, energize me.

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 faith, joy and a smile to all whom I come in contact with today.

And oh Lord, when I leave this place, give me traveling mercy.

Bless my family and home to be in order as I left it.

Lord, I thank You for everything You've done, everything You're doing and everything You're going to do.

In the precious and holy Name of Jesus I pray, with much love and thanksgiving.

Amen.
