intentionality at work

God,

Thank you for the blessing of this job at UCLA. I only have it because of you! I'm so thankful that by this job, you are providing for my husband to attend seminary and learn more about you.

But Father, it is so easy to be selfish at work and forget the lost souls that surround me! There are people that I communicate with each day who don't know you, who don't know eternal life with a God who loves them more than they can imagine... and yet, I continue on with my routine as if it doesn't even matter. It does matter! You have sovereignly placed me in this position for a purpose, and I am convinced that it is to love my coworkers and shine as light in a place clouded with deceit and lies.

So Lord, please forgive this wandering heart and restore me to a right perspective of this job you have given me and of the people that surround me. Help me to be intentional with my coworkers in a loving, gentle but truthful way. Use me to accomplish your glory in this place!
