7 Prayers to Pray Over Your Workنموونە

Pray that your identity will be in Christ.

Father,

Never stop blowing my mind that in Christ, I am a new creation. Help me remember what my life was like before You. Don’t let me lose the joy of my salvation. Help me walk in You, being rooted and built up in You. Remind me that my life is hidden in You. Set my heart, set my thoughts, set my actions, and set my intentions on eternity. Reduce my interest in this world and the things of it.

Protect me from putting my identity in inferior things, Lord, even if they’re good things. My identity is not in my past. It’s not in my spouse or my children. It’s not in the work You’ve given me to do. Lord, all of those things are blessings and gifts from You. I am grateful for them, but none of them can satisfy me. None of them can withstand my worship. Only You can.

When my identity is in You, then activity will follow. Give me a variety of places, roles, and relationships to be Your witness. But Lord, simplify every responsibility I have with the reminder that I am Your child. Keep me dependent on You and confident in You.

Help me do what matters. Keep me far more in awe of what Jesus has done for me than what I can do for You.

I love You, and I trust You. Amen.
