A Prayer for Work Unseen
Monday, February 6, 2012 at 02:21PM A thoughtful prayer about work unseen. May we all be thankful for all kinds of work, especially the work unseen and often unappreciated! A good reminder for all!
God, you are our Loving Parent, who knows all that happens to us, who aches with us, who rejoices with us...
On this day, we pray for all those around us whose work is often unlauded, but still appreciated and, sometimes, taken for granted...
... for morticians who receive and prepare our bodies for in their last stages of this life...
... for stockers, who attempt to work unseen such that the shelves of our stores never seem empty...
... for janitors and cleaning crews whose service means hospitality of washed floors, dusted shelves, empty trash cans, and clean bathrooms...
... for tow truck drivers who come in the dark of night, the deep snow, the pouring rain and carry our vehicles to safety...
... for nail technicians whose ministry of touch brings joy to people receiving manicures and pedicures...
... for people whose current position is searching for work....
... for homemakers of all sorts, who bring peace and comfort to those around them...
... for all these and so many others, we ask Lord that you would bless them, strengthen their efforts, and answer their prayers.
God in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Out of your love, answer us.
Amen.
