PRAYER FOR GOD’S WILL IN THE WORKPLACE

For a full list of prayers available through this podcast and our website, please follow this link: https://psalm71.podbean.com/e/full-list-of-available-prayers-1513057365/ Wherever you go, wherever you find that God has put you — even if (and probably especially if) you can’t stand it, and you wonder why on Earth you have been put there — if you are a child of God and a disciple of Jesus Christ, be assured of this: GOD HAS PUT YOU THERE TO PRAY. God is looking for someone who is willing to suffer unpleasant and trying circumstances, because the people in that place need someone who will pray for them. Whether you love or dislike your job, you are there because people need your prayers, and there may be no one else on the planet that is doing it. This prayer therefore includes significant portions pertaining both to the employee, and to the employer and other workplace associates. As a longer prayer set, this overall prayer is obviously not meant for daily use. However, it is highly recommended that you learn the essential language of the repeating section, along with the language in the Daily Prayer Before Starting Work or School. Use this prayer as a learning tool, listening to it, agreeing with it, and praying it earnestly as many times as needed, until the Word of God and the leading of the Holy Spirit begins to generate your own personal work prayer. NOTE: This prayer has been recorded twice, first for listening and agreeing, then again for repeating. THE FIRST PORTION (28.5 minutes) of the prayer is scripture-intensive, and is intended as preparation for the repeating section. THE SECOND PORTION (16 minutes) of the prayer is the prayer text only, for repeating. This prayer covers: Thanksgiving for God’s generous provisionThanksgiving for employmentConfessing pressures and failures in the workplaceDeclaring God as our shield and rewardCommitment to firstfruits offering to GodAsking for Holy Spirit guidance in giving to othersAsking for help in being a witness to othersAsking for overflowing blessings as a witnessAsking for prosperous labor and a good reputationBlessings for the employerAsking for a praise-filled heart and tongueInviting the presence of GodPraying for the salvation of colleaguesSubmitting restraint of the tongue to GodDeclaring citizenship in the Kingdom of GodDeclaring and submitting to the Lordship of JesusWarfare against the agents, weapons, and unlawfulactions of the kingdom of darknessPraise and glory to God Author and text source:*The basic framework for this prayer was drawn from the “Prayer for Work Environment” by Julia Shalom Jordanhttp://www.shalombewithyou.com/prayer/prayer-for-work-environment/ See also: Daily Prayer Before Starting Work or School
