Prayer of the Day

Father, thank You for this new job. I asked, You opened the door, and tomorrow I walk through it.

Calm my first-day jitters — the new badge, the new names, the new coffee machine I won't know how to work.

Help me learn fast and ask questions without shame. Give me favor with my new coworkers and patience with myself while everything is still unfamiliar.

Let me become, in time, the person there that others are glad to see walk in.

This job was Your gift, Lord. Help me treat it that way.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

Lord, give me sleep tonight — real rest, the kind You designed my body to need and my heart to receive.

Slow my breathing. Loosen my shoulders. Take the day's noise out of my ears.

You give sleep to those You love, so I'll stop trying to earn it and simply receive it.

Watch over me until morning.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
