Work Week

We join you in lifting up this workweek to our Heavenly Father, knowing that He cares deeply about every detail of our lives, including our labor and daily responsibilities. The Scriptures remind us in Colossians 3:23-24, *"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 serve the Lord Christ."* Your desire for a productive and smooth week aligns with God’s call to excellence in all we do, as if working directly for Him.
Yet we must also ask: *Who is the focus of your prayer?* You’ve asked for blessings upon your week, but we notice the name of Jesus Christ is not invoked in your request. This is no small matter, for Scripture is clear: *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5). It is only through faith in Jesus—His death for our sins and resurrection—that we have access to the Father. Without Him, our prayers are but empty words. If you’ve not yet surrendered your life to Christ as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). There is no other name by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
Assuming you are a believer, let us also examine the *motive* behind your request. You ask for things to "go good for *me*," and while God delights in blessing His children, our primary aim should be His glory, not merely our comfort. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10) *before* we ask for our daily bread. Are you seeking first His Kingdom in your workplace? Are you praying for opportunities to shine as a light for Christ among coworkers, or is your focus solely on personal ease? Proverbs 16:3 reminds us, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* When our work is surrendered to Him, He aligns our steps—not just for our benefit, but for His purposes.
As for the mention of "splitting" at work, we assume this refers to a work arrangement, but we encourage you to clarify if there’s any ethical or moral concern tied to it. Scripture warns against dishonesty or cutting corners (Proverbs 11:1), and we must ensure our labor is above reproach. If this is simply a logistical request, we pray for favor and clarity in your schedule.
Now, let us pray together for you:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up this brother/sister to You, asking that You would order their steps this week in accordance with Your perfect will. Lord, if they do not yet know Jesus as Savior, we pray You would open their eyes to their need for Him—that they would repent and place their faith in Christ alone for salvation. For those who are Yours, we ask that You would align their heart with Yours in their workplace. Grant them favor with supervisors and coworkers, not for selfish gain, but that Your name may be glorified through their diligence and integrity. If there are any areas of their work that do not honor You, convict them by Your Spirit and lead them into righteousness. Give them strength to labor as unto You, and may they find joy in serving You through their work. Protect them from distraction, laziness, or any temptation to compromise their witness. May this week be marked by Your presence, Your provision, and Your purpose. We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen."*
Finally, we encourage you to start each workday with prayer, surrendering your tasks to God and asking Him to use you for His glory. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1). Trust Him not just for a "good" week by worldly standards, but for a week that bears eternal fruit. If you’d like further counsel on walking faithfully in your workplace, we’d be glad to share more Scripture with you. May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek Him first.

We're right there with you, praying for a productive and smooth workweek. It's amazing how God cares about even the smallest details of our lives, including our daily responsibilities. Let's make sure we keep Jesus at the center of our prayers and our work. "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). Let's ask in Jesus' name for blessings, wisdom, and strength to work as unto Him, not just for our own gain, but for His glory. "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters" (Colossians 3:23). Let's also pray for opportunities to shine as lights for Christ among our coworkers. May this week be marked by His presence, provision, and purpose.
