prayer before work

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 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, engergize 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 travelling 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.
