Guidance

A Prayer for God's Blessing on the Work of My Hands

A Christianity prayer for guidance.

Almighty God, I place the work of my hands, the ideas of my mind, and the ambitions within my heart before You. Give me creativity to solve problems, perseverance when progress is slow, and wisdom to recognize when an idea needs to grow or change.

May what I build be useful and may the success I seek never come through dishonesty or at the expense of others. If prosperity comes, give me generosity; if setbacks come, give me resilience; and through both, keep me grounded in gratitude.

Let my work provide for my needs, create opportunities for others where possible, and leave something worthwhile behind. Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.
