Workday Prayer Scripture-based prayer for work

clarity, service, and courage before presenting

Prayer before giving a presentation

clarity, service, and courage before presenting

Short answer

Start with Colossians 3:23 (KJV), then pray this simply: Lord, be near before giving a presentation. Help me move slowly enough to listen and faithfully enough to act. Help me take the next step with a quiet heart and a faithful spirit. Let Your peace be deeper than control, and teach me to love the people in front of me. Let the next action be simple and faithful.

Scripture

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.

Colossians 3:23, KJV

Reflection

This reflection is not Scripture. Before giving a presentation can become a short place of prayer before the workday gathers speed. Keep this prayer simple enough to carry with you when the workday becomes loud. The theme for this session is peace before pressure. One small prayer can make the next action less reactive.
