i got this little ditty as an email forward this morning. sure, its cheesy, but with the kind of prayer asks i’ve been getting from a few of you… and just my own frustrations from time to time, i thought this was actually pretty good.
Psalm 23 (for work)
The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want.
He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.
He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without murmuring and complaining.He reminds me that he is my source and not my job. He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decisions that I might honor him in all that I do.
Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, system crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping co-workers, discriminating supervisors and an aging body that doesn’t cooperate every morning, I still will not stop— for He is with me! His presence, His peace, and His power will see me through.
He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me. He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go. His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus check.
His retirement plan beats every 401k there is!
When it’s all said and done, I’ll be working for Him a whole lot longer and for that, I BLESS HIS NAME!!!!!!
Wow, thats actually a forward i would send on. Amen to that!

I’ve seen that one before and I agree that it is one of the few forwards I would forward on.

Sometimes it feels like we need this prayer daily…not today for me… but some days… :)
