O Divine Eternal Father, in union with your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the Power of your greatest enemy - the evil spirits.

I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take. Amen
Dear God, I am in such a difficult position at work as I have a number of colleagues that are making my position there very difficult. They are trying to cause problems between my superiors and me, which is quite concerning, as I do not want to lose this job. Lord, I need this job to support my family.Be with me Lord, as I go to work each day. Help me I pray to be a good witness for You, and not to become disheartened by the unkind way that a number of my work-mates have been treating me recently.Lord, at times I dread going in to work, as the comments and attitude that they have towards me is quite cruel. I do pray that You would put a stop to this abuse I am receiving, but I also know that You are a God who can bring good out of evil and even change things overnight. I know also Lord, that You had to endure so much worse from those that despised You, and I pray that I may endure this difficult time at work, with the grace that only comes from You.Thank You, Lord, for being there and listening. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
Loving Lord, I kneel humbly before You seeking Your grace and guidance for my future life and witness. Times have become increasingly difficult, but You are my Lord and Saviour and I only want to do that which is pleasing to You and honouring to Your name. Give me I pray, patience and perseverance, insight and integrity in my work environment and business dealings, knowing that this world is a place that is increasingly discarding the unchangeable principles of Scripture and the godly traits of honesty, sincerity and integrity. But Lord, I pray that I may maintain all that is good and righteous in my position of employment and not compromise the standard that You desire for my life. Give me wisdom as I face the daily challenges in my place of occupation and I pray that I may conduct all my activities with honesty, integrity and fairness. I pray Your blessing on all I do and may my life and witness be such that You are not discredited, but rather that Your name may be glorified in all I do. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

I thank You for those of my colleagues and clients who know and love the Lord Jesus, but I also pray that You would open the hearts of all those who have not accepted Jesus as their personal Saviour or received Your wonderful saving grace. This I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Loving Lord and Heavenly Father, things are getting difficult throughout the whole business world, and the same is the case with my own little business. Yet I felt led by Your hand to go into this line of work some time ago, and You have been very gracious to me, for which I bless Your name. Father, I know that all things come from You and Your set-up, but You also lay aside when a job is completed. Look down on my business Lord. Lord, it�s a failing business, for things are getting very difficult, and there are times when I wonder if I should shut the doors on this work entirely, or labour to maintain it. So Lord, I am casting this burden on You, for You have called all those that are heavy laden to cast their burdens on You and You have promised to carry them all. Praise Your name. Lord, You know that this work is what I have been used to and I am ill-equipped to learn a new skill in this economic climate, but Father, I want to be in Your will, and so I want to hand my whole business enterprise into Your hands. I ask that You would show me what I ought to do. Lead me Lord, and guide me to do the wisest thing and give me wisdom to make the right choice. Father, my trust is in You, for all that I have is Yours and You have promised to provide all my needs, according to Your grace and riches in glory.Amen.

I pray that I may demonstrate honesty and integrity in all my dealings, whether it is my relationship with people or my dealings with financial matters and the material side of my work. Lord, I know that without You I can do nothing, but also You have promised that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. So Lord, I rely on You to bless my business as You see fit. I pray Lord, that my business may thrive with You at the helm. I pray that in all things, You will lead and direct my business path. May You be glorified in my business dealings. I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Thank You, Lord, that You are my Father and I am Your child. Thank You that I have been washed clean and transferred into Your kingdom of light. Lord, I know that in this world we will have tribulation, but I thank You that You have overcome the world. Help me never to forget these important truths, even when times are tough and when difficulties and irritations seem to mount up on every side. Lord, I bring You the thing that is weighing heavily on my heart at this moment, my situation at work is becoming so difficult. I am so grateful for the job which I know was from You, and for which I thank You with all my heart, but Father I am not utilising the training and talents, with which You have equipped me, and I ask that in Your grace You would lift me out of this demoralising position and open a door so that I may pursue the career for which I have been trained. Lord, should it be Your will that I remain in this job, please give me the grace to continue on, for I know that Your grace is sufficient. Keep me ever looking to Jesus, knowing that this world is not my home, and may I be used to Your praise and glory in whatever place I find myself. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

I ask that in the near future You would find me a suitable job where I can use my skills, abilities, training and experience.

Oh Father God, I am so distressed that one of my colleagues at work has been involved in a fatal accident. It is such a shock, not only to me and to my colleagues, but also to his dear wife and their children too.Lord, we are all in shock and grieving at this tragic loss, and ask for Your comfort and strength as we all try to come to terms with what has happened, and how this life has been snatched away from us all, so suddenly.Shine the light of Your hope and comfort into the hearts of all that have been affected by this very sad and sudden death, and I pray that You will provide all that is needful for his family, now that their bread-winner has been taken from them so suddenly and tragically.May this be a reminder to us all of how very fragile our lives are, and also may it cause each of us to examine our own hearts to see where we stand with God. And Lord, for any who do not know You, I pray that this may be the catalyst to cause them to turn to Christ for their Salvation, for our only hope of eternal life is in You alone. This I ask in Jesus' name,Amen.
Dear Father God, thank You for all those that have chosen to work in our hospitals and clinics so that they may help others who are seriously ill or needing some specialist health care. Bless the nursing staff and doctors, and all those that make up the different medical teams, the various therapist, anaesthetists and surgeons, as well as the admin staff and ancillary workers. Bless each staff member, all of whom are so vital to the smooth running of our health centres and hospitals. Give each one the wisdom and patience to work in this stressful environment, and may Your quiet calmness and peace settle in their hearts, as they work together to care for all their patients. May our clinics and hospitals be truly caring environments and prevent those who work in them from becoming impersonal or disinterested in those for who they care, but rather may the love of Jesus show forth in each one. I pray that many of our hospital staff who do not yet know You, may come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. Thank You, Lord.�Amen.
Loving Lord, there are so many dear people in the world today that are out of work at this time and as a result Lord, there is so much hardship and pain. In Your pity and mercy, I ask You to visit those that are struggling because they are jobless or unable to earn a living, knowing that unemployment brings in its wake so much stress and depression, and places such a strain on marriages and relationships.Lord, be with those that have no jobs, and provide for all their needs, but also comfort and calm those that are living each day in fear that their employment will be terminated, as work-loads increase, while at the same time others are being laid-off.Lord, we are living in hard times and high unemployment that causes so many to be out of work, and has such a negative influence on the lives of individuals as well as communities in general, and oh Lord, if it were not for the hope that is in Christ Jesus, life would indeed be unbearable. But thanks be to God, Who has given us the victory in Jesus Christ our Lord. Use me I pray, to help and encourage those that I know and to support others as I lift my voice in prayer to You. Hearken to this prayer and send help to those in need, I pray. In Jesus' name,Amen.
Loving Heavenly Father, I am really struggling in my business today. The economic climate has caused my thriving little enterprise to come to an almost standstill and I am finding that I am not in a position to pay some of my creditors. What is equally concerning is that a number of people owe money to me, but are withholding their payments, as they too are struggling. Lord, I have no help but You and I thank You for all that You have provided so generously for me in the past. I come to You today and pray that in Your grace, You would bring a financial breakthrough to my struggling business, so that I will not go into debt while also being in a position to honour the payments that I too need to make. Lord, into Your hands I commit all these difficulties to You. I am trusting in You Father. Lord, a verse in Psalm 37 comes to my mind today, "I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread." Lord, this is my testimony too. You have been very gracious to me throughout all my life, and I will trust You in this too. Lord, into Your hands I commit my future.�Amen.
Heavenly Father, Your Word tells us that the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of those that mock and ridicule God, is a blessed man indeed and Father, it is my desire to live my life as unto the Lord and to carry out my work in a godly way, keeping the Lord Jesus as the central focus of my heart, day by day.�I thank and praise You for my job, and pray that I will not compromise my faith in any way, but that all I say and do may be done to Your praise and glory. This I ask in Jesus' name,�Amen.
Dear Heavenly Lord, I thank You for my place of work and I come to You today to lift up each of my friends at work in prayer to You.

Help me to find that purpose out, in the lives of all with whom I work.Help me Lord, to demonstrate Your grace and friendliness towards my friends at work and may I conduct myself in a godly and friendly manner towards each and every one. Help me also to be able to share Your Word at my work and be ready and willing to give an answer for what I believe. Lord, You know each of these friends at work so much better than I do and You know the hurts and the pain that each one is carrying. Put Your words in my mouth so that I may speak into whatever situation is heavy on their heart, and may You use my simple witness to speak words of comfort and help to those in need. And Lord, I pray that Jesus Himself may be glorified in my life, such that many come to see their need of Jesus as their Saviour, in Whose name I pray,Amen.

Father, I do thank You for the privilege we have in coming to Your throne of grace in prayer, so that we may seek You for help and comfort in time of need. Lord, I come to You today and lift up my work colleagues in prayer, who have singled me out as a target for persecution, simply because I believe in Your name.

Lord, however long it takes, I pray that You would turn the hearts of those that are persecuting me, and warm them with the Spirit of truth. Convict them I pray, of their need of a Saviour.Father, in my heart I know that the sarcasm, humiliation and persecution that I receive is in reality hatred against You and the Lord Jesus. Thank You, that You have deemed me worthy to fellowship in Your suffering. Turn this situation I pray, into one that glorifies Your holy name. In Jesus' name,Amen.
Heavenly Father, the world is reeling from the effects of different storms and quakes and the many disasters world-wide, that can so quickly and unexpectedly shatter the lives of so many people and communities. I not only pray Lord, that You would send volunteers into places that need help to cope with the disasters that they are facing, but I ask that You would prompt Christians to hear the call and take the gospel with them into these places that have been so devastated by a disaster. Lord, I know that we live in a sinful world and that the whole of creation is groaning, as we wait for the Lord Jesus to return to set up His coming kingdom, but Father, I pray that You would use these disasters for good, by sending volunteers into such places where they may tell of the good news of Jesus Christ and bring many to faith in the Sacrifice that Christ gave on the cross to redeem all who would believe on His name. Lord hear my prayer, in Jesus' name, Amen.
Heavenly Father, You know the concerns there are at my place of work, and the stress it is causing to me and all my colleagues, and I just want to hand it over to You, because I know that it is not Your will for any of Your children to be plagued with these sorts of stresses and worries.�I do thank You for giving me this job so that I can properly provide for my family, but the increasing tension which is being caused by the numbers of cut-backs and lay-offs, together with the extra work-load that is being placed on those of us that are left, is causing a lot of uncertainty and a wave of anxiety seems to have permeated through the work force as well as the managers.�Lord, I know that my times and my future is in Your hands and so is my job, and I ask that You would keep me from all unnecessary worry and stress about redundancy or my increasingly work-load. Father, I hand all my stresses to You. My hope and my trust is in You, because You have promised to supply all my needs, according to Your riches in glory. Praise Your holy name.��Amen.
Glorious St. Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my many sins; to work with thankfulness and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop, by means of labor, the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, prudence and patience, never surrendering to weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention, and with detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account which I must render of time lost, of talents wasted, of good omitted, of vain complacency in success so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all for Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch Joseph. Such shall be my motto in life and death. Amen.
Loving Father, I have found myself in a situation at my work where the truth is being hidden and a tissue of lies are being told by those that are in management and leadership positions. Lord, I don�t really know what to do or how to handle this matter, but I know Lord, that people are being hurt and in my helplessness, I simply want to hand this matter to You, and pray that You would expose the evil works of darkness and all those that are involved. Give me wisdom I pray, to know what to do. Prevent me from doing or saying anything that will aggravate the situation or cause more distress, but also I pray that in Your grace You would sort out the situation speedily as it is having far reaching effects on me and many of my work-mates. Lord, I lift up each of my colleagues that are being affected and pray that You would meet each one at their own point of need, both those that are engaged in the lies that are being spread around and those that are being hurt as a consequence. Thank You that You are interested in all areas of our lives and as the God of truth, I pray that You will hear and answer my prayer in Your own time and in Your own way to Your glory. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You today in real need of employment and am getting concerned as I have been out of work for some time, with few opportunities of securing any job. You know the responsibilities I have, and I ask Lord that You would guide me to the right job. I know that there are many people who are in the same situation as I am in, and at times Lord I get quite discouraged. Please help me Lord not to be anxious, but to know that You are working all things according to Your good plan. Lord, at times I feel I am not part of Your plan, and yet I know what the Word tells us, that You will work all things together for good to those that love You, even my jobless position. Help me to trust You in all things and not to fret or become too discouraged. I know we are to live by faith and not by sight. Help me Lord to trust in You. I ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
Dear Lord Jesus, I come to You as I am looking for suitable employment, and pray that You will guide me as I try to look for vacant posts and apply for suitable positions. Lord, I am Your child and my life belongs to You. I pray that You will use my life in the work that You have prepared for me to do. Grant me wisdom as I start to write and apply for jobs, and I pray that I may find grace in the eyes of the employers. Go before me I pray, and open wide the door through which You would have me travel, and please shut tight every door that is unsuitable in Your sight. Lead me Lord, along Your chosen path and may I be sensitive to Your voice saying, "This is the way, walk in it."�Amen.
Heavenly Father, You know the very difficult time I am having at work and of the work colleagues who are so unkind and so difficult, who are seeking to do all they can to cause me problems and to discredit me in front of the management. Father, I come to You in prayer to ask for Your grace and strength so that I may face this ongoing barrage of daily criticism and cruelty with the spirit of Christ Jesus my Lord.Father, I know that the Lord Jesus told us to love our enemies and to pray from those that persecute us and despitefully use us. Help me to have a forgiving heart and to pray as Jesus did on the cross about those that were crucifying Him, �Father forgive them�� Spark in my heart Your spirit of forgiveness and Lord, I do truly ask Your blessing on them. Lord, I pray that they may come to know Jesus and that the hatred that they have in their hearts towards me may turn to a love for Jesus, and result in salvation for their souls.Give me wisdom to know how to respond. Keep me from displaying fear or anger, but rather, may I show gentleness of spirit and grace in action that only comes from You. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient for this trial, and may You be glorified as I face these work colleagues in Your strength. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
Loving Heavenly Father, there is an increasing unease at my work and tensions are running high, due to the changes in staffing and management that are taking place, and so many people are becoming anxious, knowing that their jobs have become very precarious.�Father, I pray that in Your grace that You would go before me and allow me to be selected as one that will not be laid off. I do ask Lord, that I may retain my current job and not have to face the need to look for employment elsewhere.�Lord, I simply want to place this difficult position in Your hands today. Give me a peace in my heart knowing that You have promised to supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory. Thank You for hearing and answering the cries of Your children. In Jesus' name I pray,�Amen.
O Divine Eternal Father, in union with your Divine Son and the Holy Spirit, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg You to destroy the Power of your greatest enemy - the evil spirits. Cast them into the deepest recesses of hell and chain them there forever! Take possession of your Kingdom which You have created and which is rightfully yours. Heavenly Father, give us the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I repeat this prayer out of pure love for You with every beat of my heart and with every breath I take. Amen
Dear Lord, You have promised that before we call You will answer and while we are still speaking, You will hear. Lord, You know the difficult situation that I have found myself in and I come to You again to ask that in Your grace and kindness, You would provide for me and my family with the job that I so desperately need.�Lord, I know that there are many people in this same situation, but I am Your child and You have promised to provide for our needs according to Your riches in glory. Provide for me speedily I pray, with a job so that I may provide for the needs of my family.�Open the door of opportunity I pray for me, so that I may not fall into debt and keep abreast of the household bills that seem to keep mounting. Have mercy on me I pray. Have mercy on my family and others that are in the same situation. Help Your children Lord. It says somewhere in the Bible that I have never seen the godly begging for bread. Father, I do not deserve Your kindness, but the Lord Jesus is my Saviour, and I ask that You would find me a job for the sake of Your dear Son, Who died for me and rose again so that I might become one of Your children by faith in Him.In Jesus' name I pray,�Amen.
Dear Lord, thank You for placing me in this particular position in my work and for the colleagues that you have seen fit to put alongside me. I pray that in all things, my life and my work will be a witness of Your grace and that I may honour You in the workplace, in all that I say and do. I pray that by Your grace, my work may be carried out efficiently, effectively and thoroughly, and I pray that in all things I may act wisely and fairly so that the name of Christ Jesus is not dishonoured by me.Thank You for the gifts and abilities that You have given me and for the opportunity I have had to gain additional qualification and knowledge, which I may use to serve my employers better. I pray that all I do, in word and deed, may be pleasing to You O Lord, and of benefit to those with whom I work. I pray that You would underscore and oversee the many projects with which I am engaged, and may I demonstrate to others a life that is led and guided by the Holy Spirit of God.Grant me a happy and gracious disposition in my work, and give me I pray, the wisdom I need for every decision I make. May the light and love of the Lord Jesus shine through me so that all with whom I come in contact today, desire to know the One in whom I have believed. May all I do be done faithfully and joyfully, and may I value all those who cross my path today. I ask this in the name of Jesus,Amen.
Dear Lord Jesus, I thank You for the gifts, graces and talents that You have given me and for the love and encouragement that I have received from my family, friends and my brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank You that I am Your child and that I am born again, in Christ, and a part of Your heavenly family.In You grace, I pray that You would take me and use me in Your service, and help me to find a vocation where I can be used to glorify Your name.Show me the way that You would have me to take and teach me the path along which You would lead me, and Lord, make me willing to follow You into the vocation of Your choice at the expense of my own, for in all things I want Your will to be done in my life.Search my heart my Lord I pray, and if there are things in my life that need to be shed or discarded, bring them to my attention, for it is my deep desire to do only those things that are pleasing in Your sight.May my life from this point forward be pleasing to You in thought, word and deed, and may I die to self so that I may live to Christ, in Whose name I pray,Amen.

Let me never suffer the loss of my greatest treasure, eternal life with God. Amen.
Saint Anthony, you are glorious for your miracles and for the condescension of Jesus who came as a little child to lie in your arms. Obtain for me from His bounty the grace which I ardently desire.

Let the glory of God be magnified by you in connection with the particular request that I earnestly present to you. {mention your petition} As a pledge of my gratitude, I promise to live more faithfully in accordance with the teachings of the church, and to be devoted to the service of the poor whom you loved and still love so greatly.

Dear God, praise Your name that I have been so blessed to be invited to start this new job, and I thank You that You have heard my prayers. Lord, I am excited about the prospect of starting at this new place of work and I ask that You would prepare me in every way for the challenges that lie ahead. Lord, I know that we are called to do everything in life as, �unto the Lord� and although in the past I have not always done so, I pray that as I take up this new position, You would help me to live and work in a way that truly honours You.Lord, I don�t know what the people will be like that I will be working alongside, but I pray that You would use me to be salt and light in this new position. And Lord, I also pray that by Your grace there may be one or two work colleagues who know and trust You. Lord, I know that in everything we should praise and thank You, and so I praise and thank You Lord, for the provision of this new job. In Jesus' name I pray,Amen.
Dear Lord, the oppression and victimisation at work that I am having to face is growing worse, and I feel that I am being singled out for this sort of persecution simply because I trust in You as my Saviour.�Lord, You told us to pray for those that persecute us and to bless and not to curse. Lord, I can only do this in Your strength. Give me that sufficient grace to do this, so that I may live a life that honours You.

This I ask in Jesus' name,�Amen.
Loving Lord, we thank You for times of rest and relaxation and the opportunity to refresh our spiritual and bodily batteries. I remember that in the Bible the time that You took Your disciples apart from their busy ministry activities to �come apart and to rest awhile�, and it is wonderful that You grant us similar opportunities to take time to be reinvigorated and revitalised, both mentally and physically.�During this time away from my work place I ask that You would release any conscious or unconscious stresses or strains that I may have built up over the past months, and help me to switch off my mind from the urgent things that may be mounting up at work, so that I may return reinvigorated and better equipped to face the responsibility on my return.�Thank You for this time away from work, and I pray that this will be a time of great refreshment and renewal and a special time Lord when I draw even closer to You. In Jesus' name I pray,�Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, You have said in Your Word to cast all our burdens on You and the trust in You for all our needs. Father, I have tried every avenue and feel almost distraught as I have been unable to secure any work for many months, even though I have made so many applications. It is discouraging Lord, when no matter how hard I try, I cannot get any work and have not even been asked to attend for an interview. Please Lord, help me I pray.Father, I want to be a good provider for my family and yet I am unable to get a job to secure sufficient for the bare necessities of life. I am crying out to You for Your help and grace in this situation.�Forgive me if I have sought to do things in my own strength, but Father I come to You in my helplessness, and pray that in You pity and mercy, You would provide me with the job that I need so badly.�I put my trust in You alone for You alone can help me. I pray that in Your merciful kindness, You would provide the job I so desperately need. To You be all the praise and the glory. In Jesus' name,�Amen.
Lord Jesus, we are facing increasing numbers of men and women who are finding it difficult to obtain a job and keep it, due to the ever-growing unemployment figures,� while there are others who are continuously concerned that the job they have is insecure, knowing that any day they may be facing a permanent and devastating job loss.�Lord, this adds to the stress on individuals and on their families and we pray that many would turn to You and seek You, knowing that You alone are the One in whom they can find a permanent solution, true security and lasting peace of mind.�Lord, as a nation and as a world we have turned our backs on You and having sown a national �wind� we are in the process of reaping a world-wide �whirlwind,� and Father, You alone are the answer to our individual, community and national problems. May we repent of our sins as individual Christians who have wandered far from You and allowed the things of this world to influence our relationship with You. May we repent as Your Church and body of Christ, for we have compromised the truth of Scripture and turned a blind eye to the evils that have infiltrated our places of worship. May we repent as a nation and turn back to the Lord our God, and may we look to You to be the one and only source of our hope, knowing that only when the Lord Jesus returns will the problems of life be finally put right. This we ask in Jesus' name,�Amen.
Thank You Lord for this new job and I am excited about starting it, and pray that You would give me the grace to settle in well and adapt to the different environment and the new challenges I will be facing. I thank You so much for the wonderful way that You opened up this job opportunity and answered my prayers in such a gracious and amazing way � and thank You that You will be with me, every step of the way. Help me to be well prepared both physically and mentally and Lord I pray that You would use me to be a blessing to others � but I also know that going to a new job as a professing Christian may also have some difficulties. �Give me grace to face any confrontations or prejudice. �Praise Your holy name and may You be exalted in my new work, in �Jesus name, Amen
Dear God, You made man and woman to be united as one in marriage and to live together in love and unity. Father, due to work pressures my husband has had to work abroad, which means that we are apart for much of the time and this is not good for either of us. Lord, You brought us together and You meant us to stay together and to live together in the bond of marriage.I pray that in Your grace, You would bring my husband back, so that he may work at a job close to home and not have to leave me and the children for months at a time. Lord, in Your own good time and in Your way, would You look with grace on the cry from my heart, I pray,Amen.
Dear God, I ask You to be with me as I prepare for the most important interview of my life, so far. Please guide me as I prepare my heart and mind for this important meeting.Give me I pray, that strength and wisdom to answer the questions with integrity and wisdom and give me a good night�s rest so that I may be alert and ready for this important time of testing. Also, I pray that You will give me Your Spirit of peace that I may enter the interview with a mind that is thinking clearly.I pray for success in this interview, but Lord I also ask that whatever the outcome of this interview is, I may know that my times are in Your hands and that You have promised to be with me throughout my life. Help me remember that nothing happens to me by chance, but that in all my ways You are there leading and supporting.Amen.

I want to offer You my business plans and ask that I would employ integrity, honesty and the values that only come from You.May the work of my hands be filled with success and may I be fruitful in all I do, but I also pray that You keep my humble in spirit, knowing that all I have comes from You, and that without You I can do nothing.Guide me I pray, and give me success in my business plans and may all I do honour Your name.Amen.
