Shine!

Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life. ~ Ephesians 2:10

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. ~ Colossians 3:23-24

I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. ~ Revelation 2:19

Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men, because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
Colossians 3:23-24

Workday Prayer

Lord Jesus, as I enter this workplace, I bring Your presence with me.

I speak Your peace, Your grace, and Your perfect order into the atmosphere of this place.

I acknowledge Your Lordship over all that will be spoken, thought, decided and accomplished within these walls.

Lord Jesus, I thank You for the gifts You have deposited in me.

I do not take them lightly but commit to using them responsibly and well.

Give me a fresh supply of truth and beauty on which to draw as I do my job.

Anoint my creativity, my ideas, my energy so that even my smallest task may bring You honor.

Lord, when I am confused, guide me. When I am weary, energize me.

Lord, when I am burned out, infuse me with the light of Your Holy Spirit.

May the work that I do and the way I do it bring hope, life, and courage to all that I come in contact with today.

And, oh Lord, even in this day’s most stressful moment, may I rest in You.

In the name of Jesus my savior I pray.

Amen.

Living life on purpose.

Let Your light shine, let Your light shine for all to see

Start a fire in my soul
Fan the flame and make it grow
So there’s no doubt or denying
Let it burn so brightly
That everyone around can see
That it’s You, that it’s You that we need
Start a fire in me
