Trying to build a prayer life can be difficultโwhether you donโt know how to pray or you donโt feel like praying. So weโre here to help you connect with God with simple prayers for the everyday.
When Your Day Starts Out…Not Right.
The alarm sounds, but thereโs no way itโs time to get up yet. So we rest our eyes for a few more minutes. Can I get a witness?!ย
Later. Much later…our eyes shoot open in a panic, and we realize those few minutes turned into 43 minutes. Punch it Chewie! Time for hyperdrive. A quick cup of coffee and toast. Half-a-shower (or enough gel to look like we took a shower). And itโs only after weโre on our way that we think about connecting with God.ย
But weโre pressed for time, and the day already feels like itโs going to be roughโlike 4-more-cups-of-coffee rough.ย
But hey, God never said we had to have it all together when we come to him. (Actually, he kind of said the opposite, like โHey, I know you donโt have it all together, and thatโs why Iโm here to help.โ) So what if we start there?ย
Hereโs a prayer we pray when we want to have a good day at work, but the day doesnโt feel like itโs set up to be successful.ย
A Prayer for a Good Day at Work
Creator God, who built the universe, and employed us to manage it… who invented work with all of its purpose and dignity: Help me see the opportunity in my job today to take care of your creation and creatures. Meet me in my mission, and guide me to success as you define it. And in my haste and unsettledness, still my heart and mind to enjoy the good work you have given me to do for your glory, the good of the world, and my good. Amen.ย
There are lots of encouraging Bible verses for a good dayโhereโs our fav of the day:
โThe Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of itโ (Genesis 2:15).
