We join with you in agreement for a stress free, peaceful, accurate and productive work week and we thank you for inviting us to pray with you in Jesus name.
We know that work can bring pressure and weariness, yet God desires to give us His peace even in the midst of busy days. We are reminded in Philippians 4:6-7, In nothing be anxious, 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. And Jesus Himself invites us in Matthew 11:28, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
We also take comfort that as we commit our work to the Lord, He establishes and blesses the work of our hands. Proverbs 16:3 says, Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. And Colossians 3:23 reminds us, And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men. When our focus is to honor God with excellence and accuracy, He gives us strength and clarity. Isaiah 26:3 gives us this promise, You will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you. And John 14:27 says, Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
So we pray together for you.
Father, in the name of Jesus we lift up our dear fellow believer to You and we thank You for the work You have provided. We ask that You would fill this coming work week with Your perfect peace that surpasses understanding. Guard this heart and mind from stress and anxiety and let Your calm rest upon each day. Grant wisdom, focus and accuracy in every task, and help all work to be done heartily as unto You. We ask for productivity that honors You, for favor with coworkers and supervisors, and for strength to work diligently while also resting in Your grace. Let no weapon of worry or confusion prosper, and let Your joy be strength throughout the week. We commit this week into Your hands and trust You to establish the work. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to begin each work day by committing your plans to the Lord in prayer, taking brief moments to breathe and cast your cares on Him when pressure rises, and keeping your mind steadfast on His promises. He is faithful to give you peace and to equip you for every good work.
