May Our Work Be a Worship Offering

Colossians 3:23-25—Prayers for the Church

May Our Work Be a Worship OfferingWhatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism. (Colossians 3:23-25)

Lord, may all my work be a worship offering to you. Bless me in all ways to have in mind what you desire and work with all my heart as though serving you. 

Bless me to work as though working to receive my inheritance from you, not men. It is you I serve. 

Should I do wrong, I expect to be paid in kind, for you do not show favoritism, but treat all men and women equal.

Praise Jesus, even when we do wrong, if we turn and confess, you are merciful to forgive us. Though our sins may leave a legacy of consequences, covered by your blood and in your righteousness, when we confess our sins, we no longer need to live in shame. 

Thank you Lord, that you do not hold our sins against us, but desire we live free of sin and in peace with you. 

Amen and amen.
