Lord, I pray that you would bless the work of my hand. May my labor bring not only favor, success and prosperity, but great fulfillment as well. If the work I am doing is not in line with your perfect will for my life, reveal this to me. Show me what I should do differently and guide me down the right path. Give me strength, faith and a vision for the future so I can rise above any propensity for laziness.
May I never run from work out of fear, selfishness, or a desire to avoid responsibility. On the other hand, help me to see that I don't have to work myself to death for man’s approval, or grasp for gain beyond what is a gift from You. Give me the ability to enjoy my success without striving for more. Help me to excel, but free me from the pressure to do so.
I pray that you will be Lord over my work and may I bring You into every aspect of it. Give me enough confidence in the gifts You’ve place in me, to be able to seek, find and do good work. Open up doors of opportunity for me that no man can close. Develop my skills so that they grow more valuable with each passing year. Show me what I can do to stay encouraged.
I pray that my work will be established, secure, successful, satisfying and financially rewarding. May I not be “lagging in diligence, but fervent in spirit, serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11). Let me be like a tree planted by the stream of Your living water, which brings forth fruit in due season. May I never wither under pressure, but grow strong and prosper (Psalm 1.3).
