Psalm 90:17
“May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.”
Lord Jesus, we give thanks for work, and for the many works You have given us to do. Hear our prayers on this day of rest, and strengthen us for the week ahead. We pray that You would be present with those who work by day and those who labor by night; those who work near, and those whose labor carries them far away; and we pray for those who, in this uncertain time, have no job. We pray all of this knowing that Your labors on our behalf never cease, and that Your yoke is easy, and Your burden is light. In Your name we pray. Amen.
