Prayer Before Starting Work
(May this prayer inspire you as it did Pastor Carla when she was in the workforce)

My Heavenly Father, as I enter this workplace, I bring your presence with me
I speak your peace, your grace, your mercy and your perfect order into this place.
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 are going to do.

In the name of Jesus I pray, with much love and thanksgiving...
Amen.
