For Those Who Work

Master and Lord, You have promised an abundance of fruits to those who follow You faithfully. In my daily work (as a …), I desire to follow You faithfully and to fulfill my responsibilities as if I were doing them for You alone. Bless me in all my endeavours and help me to succeed by Your grace.

Lord, I commit my occupation [or: vocation] to You; may Your will be done in all things. Fill my heart with Your grace that I may always act with faith, according to Your commandments, with kindness, honesty and courage. Guide me that my life be rich with every good work to Your praise and glory. Amen.

 

Before Any Task

Lord, Jesus Christ, my God, You have said, “Apart from me, You can do nothing.” In faith, I embrace Your words, Lord, and I entreat Your goodness. Bless me as I begin this work […]. Help me to bring it to completion. Enlighten my mind and strengthen my body, that I may accomplish my task according to Your will. Guide me, O Lord, to bring about works of goodness to Your service and glory. Amen.
