Dignity of work

Today Labor Day we pray for all those who have jobs that they may do the best they can as it is part of the caring community.
We pray for those who do not have jobs that they may not become discouraged in the search.
We pray for those who no longer can do active work and whose job is now to pray for the other travelers on the journey.
What ever your state thank God for the talents you have been given using them to praise the God who gave them to you to share with others.

Prayer for Work*

Creator God,
thank you for providing us
with the gift to share our talents.
Provide our community, our nation, our world
the fortitude to provide work for all
which is decent and fair.
Make us faithful stewards
of your creation
to enhance the human dignity
of our global family.
We ask this in the name of Jesus,
who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit
now and forever.
Amen.
