Before Work

A Prayer for Someone Starting a New Job

A Christianity prayer for before work. Attributed to Sacred Lens Original.

God of new beginnings,

Be with me as I begin this new work.

Give me confidence without pride, willingness to learn, and patience while unfamiliar responsibilities become familiar. Help me build good relationships with the people around me and contribute something worthwhile through the work I do.

When I make mistakes, help me learn rather than become discouraged. When challenges arise, give me wisdom to respond well.

May this opportunity provide not only income and stability, but also growth, friendship, purpose, and opportunities to serve others.

Amen.
