A Prayer for the Work Day Ahead
Father, thank you for all the ways you’ve blessed me, specifically with this job that pays my bills and puts food on my table. Thank you that ALL work has significance because work is good. Help me bring you glory today, through my actions, my words, through the good work I do to bring order to my little corner of the world. Help me view my work as a blessing and not a curse. Give me grace and strength for the hardest aspects of my job. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

I remember those days when I was still in the corporate world, we pray in the office before we go to the field. We prayed the Psalm 91 and of course our own personal prayer. Even in my daily life prayer has a big part. Until now the prayer of God's Protection or Psalm 91 has been part of my daily life. I also remember my other job. We always begin the operation with a prayer and morning call.
2. Don't Skip Breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Skipping your morning meal will lead you to have low energy and no enthusiasm to start or finish daily tasks. So, don't forget to eat your breakfast before going to work.
