Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with hearts full of gratitude for the workers in our lives. We thank You for the labor they perform, the dedication they show, and the sacrifices they make to provide for their families and contribute to our communities.
We ask that You would bless them with strength, wisdom, and skill as they carry out their daily tasks. Give them Your peace, even in the midst of stress and difficulty, and let them know that You are with them. We pray for the protection and provision for them and their families. Help them to have the wisdom to find balance in their work and in the life You have created them for.
We also ask that You would give them the opportunity to be a light in their workplaces, to share the love of Christ with those around them, and to be a blessing to others.
Lord, we thank You for all the work that is done and Your goodness and blessings in all we do.
In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
