How To Pray For Your WorkSample

After honoring God at the start of his prayer, Jesus went on to make a request.
“May your kingdom come. May your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).
In God’s kingdom nothing is wrong. But that doesn’t describe most workplaces. You likely face frustrations at work. Systems break. Solutions are difficult to find.
You also likely face problems due to other people. People sin against each other. They argue, undermine each other, or do poor quality work.
Recognizing the brokenness of the real working world, Jesus prays: May God’s kingdom come to earth. May people do God’s will.
When you pray, tell God your real work problems. Ask for God’s kingdom to invade your workplace. Ask for the strength to do God’s will.
Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, __________________ be your name. [List your own words to describe God.]
Your kingdom come __________________. [List the places or the problems where you need God.]
Your will be done.
Give me today __________________. [List exactly what you need from God.]
Forgive me for __________________. [List anything for which you need forgiveness.]
I forgive __________________. [List anyone you need to forgive.]
Save me from __________________. [List your temptations.]
Rescue me from __________________. [List your fears.]
Yours are the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
