The Carpenter’s Prayer

Lord, I thank you for this job and the blessings it provides.

May you watch over me this day and keep me safe from harm.

Create in me a willing spirit and a happy heart.

Grant me the ambition to work hard and give me the strength to finish what I have started.

May my hands always be prepared to help enlighten another’s load.

And finally, Lord, remind me that the quality of my work is a reflection of You to those around me.

Amen.

  • Quality Isn’t Expensive
