a pray for work

Ecclesiastes says, "(You) can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in (your) work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God.
Let us pray...
O God who worked in creation, still works in the green fields and toils in the seas and harvests the rain of the air, we give thanks for your work and continued love to us. You call us to work for the good of our brothers and sisters and food our own daily bread. We find the fruits of our labor satisfying and are glad to share it with those we love and those in need.
We must confess, O God that there are days we dread going to work. When the task is hard, those we work with are difficult to bear, or other needs weigh on our heart. Help us, O God to be mindful of our work. Bring work to those who search for it, and give prosperity through the toil and labors of our nation. Bless us with good honest work O God, so we might look at the tasks we have accomplished and say, "It is good!"
