 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Lord Jesus, as I enter this workplace, I bring Your presence with me.  <\/span>I speak Your peace, Your grace and Your perfect order into the atmosphere of my workplace.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

I acknowledge Your Lordship over all that will be spoken, thought, decided and accomplished this day.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, I thank you for the gifts and skill You have deposited in me.  <\/span>I do not take them lightly, but commit to using them responsibly and well.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Give me a fresh supply of truth and beauty on which to draw as I do my job today.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Bless my creativity, my ideas, my energy so that even my smallest task may bring You honor.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Lord, when I’m confused, guide me – when I’m weary, energize me.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Lord, when I’m burned out, infuse me with the light of Your Holy Spirit.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

May the work I do and the way I do it bring hope, life and courage to all that I come into contact with today.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

And, oh Lord, even in this day’s most stressful moments, may I rest in You.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

In the name of Jesus, I pray.  <\/span>Amen.<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
