Prayer Before Starting Work

I need to thank my colleague Li Li for sharing this beautiful prayer. Shall print and put it up in office one day.

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've doing and everything You're going to do.

In the Name of Jesus I pray, with much love and Thanksgiving,
Amen.
