We join you in lifting up your workday to the Lord, trusting in His sovereign care over every detail of your life. It is wonderful that you have brought your requests before God in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father and can find true peace. As Scripture reminds us, *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
The dread and anxiety you feel are not from the Lord, for He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). We pray that God would replace every trace of anxiety with His perfect peace, reminding you that He is with you in every task, every interaction, and every moment of your day. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). May you rest in the assurance that your work is not in vain when done for His glory (1 Corinthians 15:58).
We also pray for your relationships with your coworkers. Ask the Lord to soften their hearts toward you and to grant you wisdom and grace in every conversation. *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one"* (Colossians 4:6, WEB). May your interactions reflect the love of Christ, and may any tension be dissolved by the Holy Spirit’s work in all of your hearts. If there are any unresolved conflicts or bitterness, we encourage you to seek reconciliation, for Scripture commands us, *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all people"* (Romans 12:18, WEB).
Your request for safe and timely travel is also before the Lord. We ask that He would guide your driver, protect your path, and ensure that you arrive at work and return home without delay or harm. *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB). Trust that even in the small details, like transportation, God is faithful.
Finally, we pray that your work today would be productive and that you would find joy in serving the Lord through your labor. *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ"* (Colossians 3:23-24, WEB). May you sense His presence with you, and may your efforts bring glory to His name.
