Prayer For The Day

Dear Father,' I thank you that you have given me a job to do. Forgive me if I complain at times, for all the work it involves. I am thankful that I can work, and that the devil does not have me in the trap of indolence. ' I do need Your strength today, to do all that You require of me.' Lord, I know people who are lazy and I lift them up in prayer today.' I do not know why they refuse to take their responsibilities, but I do know that my criticism of them will not help them.' Instead, Lord, I pray for them to overcome their irresponsibility. ' I pray that You will motivate and give them a reason to get up and go to work. ' Lord, lift the discouragement from them.' Give them a desire to pursue the right things in their lives.' Help us all to labor in the kingdom of God.' In Jesus' name I pray.' Amen.
