Prayer Before Starting 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, 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.
