A Prayer about How God Works in Our Work

Glorious God,

As this week begins 

and our minds turn to our work, 

return our minds to your wondrous works. 

Show us how you are working in our work, 

our work of changing diapers or changing sheets, 

our work of building Legos or building homes, 

our work of ministering the gospel or administering medications.

Whatever we do today, 

may we “glory in [your] holy name” 

and may we rejoice as we seek you. (Psalm 105:3).

When we feel weak and incompetent, 

show us your strength 

and surround us with your calming presence.

When the task before us seems impossible, 

remind us that you are the miracle-working God (Psalm 105:5).

In Jesus’ strong name. Amen.

Read Psalm 105:1-6.
