Almighty God, You are all-knowing. You know my words before I speak. You know my thoughts before they are
formed. Nothing in all creation is hidden from You. Everything
is naked and exposed before Your eyes,
and You are the one to whom we are
accountable.
My heart is grateful for the work family you have given me.
Thank you for colleagues who encourage
each other and build each other up.
As Your Word says, I want them to
be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love, so, too, let us
cultivate this kind of love among our co-workers, because love covers a multitude of sins.
Father, forgive me for taking my colleagues for granted, for
breaking the golden rule, for not treating others as I would like to be
treated. Cleanse my heart of any
bitterness, conflict, hurtful criticism, and impure thoughts.
Allow us to make
allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends us. Let us be clothed in love, which binds
us all together in perfect harmony. We know that among the things you detest are a lying tongue and a person
who sows discord in a family. Lord,
convict our hearts that we may confess these sins and turn from this wickedness. Forgive us.
Help us to watch out
that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble our work family, corrupting many. Help us
be peacemakers who plant seeds of peace so
that we may reap a harvest of
righteousness. Free us from the
temptation to gossip so that we will
not add grief and pain to those who
are wounded.
Help us to be kind to
each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another. Grant that we should be of one mind, that we would sympathize with each other, and
love each other as brothers and sisters.
Help us to be tenderhearted,
and keep a humble attitude. Let us
not repay evil for evil, nor retaliate with insults when people insult
us. Instead, help us to pay them back with a blessing because that is what You, Lord, have called us to do, and You will bless us
for it.
In the precious and holy name of Jesus, Amen.
