Prayer of the Day: A Morning Prayer for Work – February 26, 2025

Mornings can feel rushed, especially when work looms ahead—deadlines, emails, or that one tough conversation.

This morning prayer for work is here to center you, offering peace and strength before you step into your day. Let’s pause and invite something bigger into the grind.

Morning Prayer for Work:

Heavenly Father,
I come to You this morning, lifting up my work. You see the hours ahead—the tasks I dread, the people I’ll meet, the energy I’ll need.

Steady my hands when they falter, sharpen my mind for what’s complex, and guard my words so they build up, not tear down.

When stress creeps in, remind me You’re near. Let this day’s labor honor You and bless those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection:

Work isn’t just a paycheck—it’s where we spend so much of our lives.

Psalm 90:17 prays, “May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us.”

That’s a powerful thought: your efforts today, big or small, can carry eternal weight. Maybe you’re prepping a presentation or cleaning a workspace—whatever it is, this prayer of the day asks God to make it matter.

What’s one thing you hope goes well at work today? Hold that in mind as you pray.
