Prayer for the Work Place




(This prayer can be formatted to suit any workplace or industry--- a dr.’s office, a factory, restaurant, hair salon, office bldg., security, hospital, hotel, etc.)

                        O LORD, You are my God.  I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.  You are a Great God, Almighty God, and a Sovereign God.  You are all powerful and Supreme Authority.   It is You Who made the earth and created man upon it.  With Your hands, You stretched out the heavens, and commanded all their host.  You are the Lord and there is no one else, there is no God besides You.  

                           I have been given a mouth and wisdom which all my adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.

                    Father God, rebuke and bind the spirits of witchcraft, rejection, error, fear, depression, oppression, bad attitude, slothfulness, procrastination, distraction, complaining, bitterness, jealousy, sabotage, lying, gossiping, backbiting, animosity, retaliation, revenge, backlash, operating in this place and in our lives.  They have no right, no power, no claim no authority, and in the Name of Jesus Christ, all of their works, plans, and assignments against us have been cancelled, rendered powerless, vetoed and null and void, they are sent back to dry places and into outer darkness. I plead the Blood of Jesus over myself and every coworker that occupy this office, over every cubic inch and square foot of space in this office, over every desk, every chair, and cubicle, at the threshold of every doorway, entrance and exit.  
                    Holy Spirit, You are invited and You are welcomed to come and permeate this place, cohabitate and dwell among us in Your perfect fruit which are Love, Joy, Peace,  Gentleness, Goodness, Meekness, and Faithfulness, Patience and Self-control.    We thank You because You give us power to get wealth and to do the work, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.
                    Forgive us, Lord, if we have allowed the change of lifestyle caused by the world’s corrupt economic system influence negative behavior towards our job performance, supervision and coworkers.   We will not let in disgruntled feelings, fear or worry about executive decisions that we have no control of direct our work environment, because greater is He that is within us than he that is in the world. Work stoppage, lay-offs or job failure are not a part of the future and hope that You have for us.   We understand that this is a place of business and that we must work together as unto the Lord.  

                    And Father, 2Peter 3:9 says, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. So I ask in the name of Jesus, for my coworkers that don’t know you, save, heal, deliver and set free, and restore those that are in a backsliding condition.

Father, we thank You for life and life more abundantly in the Name of Your Son, Christ Jesus.  Amen.
