Letting God Build Our Character Through Work

I meant to read out this prayer on Sunday at the end of my talk, but I left the piece of paper at home!

This is a prayer by Richard Foster and it beautifully hits the nail on the head!

A Prayer at Mid-Day

The day has been breathless, Lord.
I stop now for a few moments and I wonder:
Is the signature of the holy over the rush of the day?
Or have I bolted ahead,
Anxiously trying to solve problems that do not belong to me?
Holy Spirit of God, please show me:
How to work relaxed
How to make each task an offering of faith
How to view interruptions as doors to service
How to see each person as my teacher in things eternal
In the name of him who always worked unhurried,
Amen.
