Loving God, here are my hands.
What do you want me to create or build today?
Who do you want me to serve?
What activities should I keep my hands away from?
May these small hands help build your kingdom.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord,
Not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
(Colossians 3: 23, 24 NIV)
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what
Is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. (Ephesians 4: 29 NIV)
(2) Loving God, here is my voice.
I commit to only speak words of life today.
Words that build up and not tear down.
Always speaking the truth, and always speaking it in Love.
Please help me to be a voice for the voiceless today.
Show me when to stay quiet.
O God, may my voice make this world more like You've made it to be.
May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19: 14 NIV)
(3) Loving God, here is my heart.
You know the deepest longings of my heart. I humbly hold them out before You.
For Vocation in Daily Work
Almighty God our heavenly Father, you declare your glory
And show forth your handiwork in the heavens and in the
Earth: Deliver us in our various occupations from the service
Of self alone, that we may do the work you give us to do in
Truth and beauty and for the common good; for the sake of
Him who came among us as one who serves, your Son Jesus
Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
