Daliy Devotion for January 26, 2006

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 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
