A Prayer for Christians in the Workplace

I thought I would include the prayer below in the post I published earlier today,  How to Effectively Bring Prayer Into the Workplace. That post ran long so I was not able to include it there, but I liked this prayer so much that I wanted to share it with you.

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 my workplace.

I acknowledge Your Lordship over all that will be spoken, thought, accomplished, and decided this day.

Lord Jesus, I thank You for the gifts and skills that 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 upon which to draw as I do my job today.  Bless my creativity, my ideas, my energy so that even my smallest task may bring You honor.

Lord, when I’m confused, guide me – when I’m weary, energize me.

Lord, when I’m burned out, infuse me with the light of Your Holy Spirit.

May the work I do, and the way I do it, bring hope, light and courage to all that I come into contact with today.

And Oh Lord, even in this day’s most stressful moments, may I rest in You.

In the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen.

The author of the prayer is anonymous, but what a wonderful prayer that each of us can claim for our own.  Maybe that was the author’s intention?
