Daily Prayer - Fulfilment in our work

Good Wednesday morning, my friends.

 

The prayer below strikes home for me as I face some "challenges" in my current workplace.  Seeing all of our work as working for God and not for our boss/company/pay changes our perspective.  This applies of course to whatever work we do around the home as well and any volunteering activities in which we are engaged.

 

How is your perspective on work these days?

 

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance!

Father, we find pleasure and fulfillment in our work when we work at it heartily, as for You, primarily. 

 

We thank You for giving us the wherewithal to provide an income for our family where our financial needs are met.

 

Certainly each workplace has its challenges, but as we look to You for strength, endurance and wisdom to deal with those challenges we find joy, thanksgiving, and fulfillment in our work. 

 

May others see heaven sent joy flow from our lives as we spread mutual respect and a strong work ethic in the workplace. 

 

In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen.
