September 2, 2009

Here is today's prayer:

O Lord, you have given us the privilege of work.
Help us to work in a spirit and with a care that is
worthy of a disciple of yours.

May we do our work well.
Whatever the task, help us to give it our best thought
and effort.

May we relate in Christian love to those with
whom we work, to those whom we meet and those to
whom we talk. Give significance to our encounters.

May we find joy in the concrete activity of our work.

May we begin and continue our work with a sense of
faithful service done, for good fulfilled, and of a day
spent with you.

In the spirit of the Carpenter, our Lord. Amen.

~Thomas A. Langford Prayer and the Common Life, pg. 29
