A Short Prayer

"Dear Lord, guide my actions and decisions at work today, fill me with wisdom and discernment, Amen."

A Deeper Prayer

Heavenly Father, as I begin this workday, I ask that You grant me guidance and wisdom. Help me to discern what needs to be done and the best way to do it, that I may be a blessing to those around me and bring glory to Your name. May Your presence be with me, leading and directing me in all that I do, and may I be a reflection of Your love and character to my colleagues and all those I interact with.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I trust that God is guiding me in my work?+

What if I'm unsure about the decisions I'm making at work?+

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault (James 1:5). Seek His guidance through prayer and fasting.

Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward (Colossians 3:23-24).
