DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

For Integrity in the Workplace

Lord God,
The world doesn’t operate by your standards, so it should be no surprise to us that neither does our workplace. When those in charge are more concerned about the bottom line or having the upper hand than about doing the right thing, it establishes a permissive culture of rule-breaking, so long as the ends justify the means. Ethics are set aside. Morality becomes subjective. Employees become more emboldened to mistreat or manipulate their coworkers. Companies and organizations treat customers differently on the basis of the profit they generate. 

Give us the courage to stand up for our values and to stand on your Word. Make us confident to let our light shine even in the workplace. When we cannot verbally share our faith, let us display it through our behavior. Help us show others how you can bless and prosper those who righteously strive to walk in your ways.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

To Be Grateful for My Job

Dear Lord,
Thank you for the blessing of employment. We are far too comfortable complaining about our jobs and not grateful enough for having them. Though you provide for our daily bread through many channels, work is one of the primary means by which you allow us to care for our family. Work also provides an outlet for us to contribute to something bigger than ourselves and to put our gifts to use in service to others. Give us the patience to work under overbearing bosses and alongside challenging coworkers. Help us see that work carried out to your glory is never in vain. Drive us to give our best, not to impress others, but because in all things we aim to serve you – even in the workplace. Where permitted, let me make you known by speaking freely and frequently about you; where not, let how I conduct myself and the way I treat others stand out. In all things in the workplace, may I bring you glory and represent you well. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
