Contrary to some beliefs, work is not a curse that God gave to mankind when they fell as a result of sin. In fact, even before Adam and Eve fell into sin, God had already placed man to work. In Genesis 2:15, it is written that God took the man He created and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. Therefore, each of us has a garden to work and keep—something that we are to be faithful in doing. Just like Adam and Eve, we have been placed by God to work.
Prayers For When Working
Heavenly Father, may I always be faithful to the work that You have entrusted to me. Cause my hands to bear fruit in such work. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
For this section, when we say, "work essentials," we do not refer to a list of protocols or equipment you may need at work. Instead, we are showing essential biblical truths about work. We need to ponder and pray that such truths will be a reality in our lives as we work
Work essentials
1. Diligence is one of the biblical work essentials
Proverbs 10:4 Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.
2. Wisdom is is another of the biblical work essentials
James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you
3. Attitude of Worship is yet another biblical work essentials.
Philippians 2:17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you
Father in heaven, give me the grace to never be lazy but remain diligent in doing my work, even the tedious tasks. May the truth that work is a form of worship of You motivate me to be diligent in it and see it not just as mere toil but as something that I am doing for You and not for men. Give me the wisdom that I need so that I will be prudent and wise at heart, always do what honors you, and be excellent in my work. Bless the work of my hands. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
Ps-as you work remember you are doing it for God and His glory—Lumna10.
