A Prayer For Being A Diligent Worker

Father, help us to view work as a blessing from You that gives us opportunity to participate in gathering adequate provisions for our family as well as making a positive difference in our work setting. We can overcome challenges in the workplace when we do our work heartily, as for You. We seek to be just and diligent in our work not just when we’re being observed by our supervisors or fellow-employees, but we remain aware that You are always watching over us. Help us not to resent or dwell on the negatives of our work or workplace, but to recognize how we serve You well when we work with a cheerful heart and we make the workplace a more pleasant atmosphere as well. We are especially motivated when we remember that our reward is not just the weekly paycheck but most importantly the glorious eternal inheritance we receive in heaven. Keep us faithful we pray. Amen.
