God Made Man: Discovering Your PurposeShembull

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

Colossians 3:23-24

Lord God, 

I pray that Your merciful hand lay down upon our brothers who are struggling to labor. Brothers who are out of work or who have lost the joy in the work they do. 

Work is fulfilling for a man, and You bless the fruitful with more abundance than their efforts may produce. Lord, I ask Your grace for our brothers fighting to provide for their family, even if there doesn't seem to be a way. 

Show them the path. Our brothers equate work with providing and being able to provide with respect. This causes so much stress and worry for men. It chips away at their true joy. I pray they may know peace in their labor and take the time to relax while with their family.

In the precious name of Jesus, we pray, Amen
