Prayer Before Work

After one very hectic day work day that did not end so well, I realized that I did not offer a prayer for the work day.  I take it as God's reminder for me to start the day right, be centered with a prayer.  I looked for prayers on the Internet and the one below appears in most sites.  It's a beautiful prayer.  I don't know who wrote it but I thank the person...

My Heavenly Father, as I enter this work place, 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 honour.  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 that 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 Name of Jesus I pray, with much love and thanksgiving.  Amen.


May God bless the work of our hands.
