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.

To Increase My Work Ethic

Lord God,
When you created a flawless universe and called Adam to oversee and care for it, you established work as a blessing and privilege. Since the Fall, however, we view work differently. We often associate work with toil, frustration, and futility. Rather than seeing it as the blessing you intend it to be, we often see it as a burden. 

Remind me that through my job, I am not just working for a manager, a CEO, or a company, but most importantly, for you. So when I give anything but my best, forgive me. Steer me away from trying to justify subpar or lazy work for one reason or another. You deserve my best effort at all times, and my workplace and neighbor are better served, too. There is a lack of work ethic among many men in our culture today that I ask you to turn around. Help men to rediscover the drive to produce and build and create. Fill them with meaning and purpose in their work, and help them find satisfaction in a job well done. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
