A Daily Prayer Before Work

Seeking God’s Presence and Guidance Before Work

Heavenly Father, God Almighty, as I prepare to enter the workforce today, I surrender my mind, body, and spirit completely into Your loving hands. May every ounce of my energy and effort be an offering of worship unto You, O Lord – an expression of gratitude as I prepare myself before work.

Let the fire of Your Spirit ignite within me a renewed passion for my calling. Grant me strength to labor diligently as unto You and not mere men.

Bless my efforts with productivity and purpose, ensuring that my work not only benefits me and my family but also makes a positive impact in the world and glorifies Your name.

Shield Me Today

Shield me from the toxic lures of greed, pride, and selfish ambition that so quickly corrupt. May integrity be the resounding theme of my work ethic, so that through my professional conduct, many may see Christ and glorify Your name.

Oh Lord, grant me the strength and endurance to tackle the day’s work with energy and enthusiasm. In moments of fatigue or discouragement, remind me of the value of my work and the difference it makes.

Renew my spirit when I feel depleted, and help me to maintain a positive attitude, even in the face of setbacks or difficulties. Provide me with the resilience to persevere through the day, always relying on Your strength rather than my own.

Revive And Refresh Me In My Efforts

Abba Father, when fatigue beckons me to complacency, revive my fervor through the power of Your invigorating Word. In moments of frustration or difficulty, attune my spiritual ears to hear Your still, small voice speaking guidance.

Let the refreshing springs of Your peace, joy, and perseverance continually nourish my inner man as I pour myself out in dutiful labor. Oh Lord, I pray for harmony and positive relationships within my workplace.

Help me to be a source of encouragement and support to my colleagues, to communicate with clarity and kindness, and to contribute to a team spirit that reflects Your love and unity.

Guide me in dealing with any conflict or misunderstanding, that I may approach such situations with a heart ready to listen, forgive, and seek reconciliation. May my interactions be characterized by patience, respect, and a genuine care for others, building bridges where there are divides.

Ephesians 4:2-3 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Use Me Today Lord

Use me today, I humbly pray, as a brilliant beacon of skillful excellence and sustaained effort. May every task, every meeting, every interaction simply exude the peace of my Savior’s presence.

Guard me against any harm, and keep me healthy and safe in my environment. In times of stress or when facing health challenges, provide me with Your peace and healing. In Jesus mighty name I pray, Amen.
