Prayer for stress at work
(a prayer for peace of mind and guidance in the workplace)

Lord,

May your love overcome my resentment
May your strength overcome my exhaustion
May your truth overcome deceit
May your hope overcome apathy
May your light overcome darkness
May your wisdom overcome confusion

With rest and balance
With transformed thoughts
To face the challenges afresh
And bring the beautiful fragrance of your kingdom
Into my workplace.

Amen.

Prayer Before Work

An uplifting morning prayer which gives the decisions of the coming working day over to God:-

"May your hope overcome apathy"

Prayer for help at work

Dear God,

I find it so hard to cope with the demands placed on me at work and the way I feel undervalued and mistreated. I lay this situation before you. Please come to bring change, to cut the chains of fear and worry that I feel in the workplace. I pray for those who oversee my job that they might see the reality of this situation, so that I can flourish and thrive as I seek to serve you.

Amen.

Prayer for difficult boss

Dear Father,

Thank you that you are with me. Thank you that your Holy Spirit is working in my life to bring Kingdom blessings to the earth. I come before you with the difficulties I am experiencing with my manager. I lay before you the stress that it creates for me, and the tensions that I am aware of. Please give me great wisdom, strength and grace at this time. Help me to respect my boss, but also not to be mistreated. Give me wisdom as I seek to negotiate, to stand my ground, and to remain respectful of my work colleagues.

At this time, I choose to lean on you Lord, for in you I find strength and grace.

Amen.

Holy Spirit, please encircle me,
Come hold me safe and secure.
Wrap my mind up with your truth

With vision for the future,
And hope for tomorrow.
