Work

Lord,
I know that I am so young and new in the work world, yet already I am starting to see and know the experience of work that most people live with. I was surprised by that small seed of dread I felt as I realized that it was Sunday and tomorrow was Monday and the week at the office would begin. And I have founded that Christ is honest when he tells us "Ask and you shall receive" and I so today I just want to ask, Lord, would be so gracious to change my heart toward my workplace? I know that you can do it, as I have watched and felt the transformation you have brought into my heart in so many other things, even in this week alone. God, give me a heart and discernment for those that I work with. God, let the refugees who may never known a Christian see Christ in me, and God as I am absolutely confounded with how in the world to connect with them, unsure of how you would have me act, would you show me Lord?
 I don't want to live any portion of my life waiting for 5 pm or for Friday. I want all of my life to be lived with God and for God. I know that there will not always boundless joy in every job that I have. I know that were called to hard things. And hard is different for everyone. But while I am here, am in this space, I ask you God that you would humble me so that I can listen to you, so I can be obedient to you, so I can know you more in this? Don't let me think endlessly about what I want to be doing or what I am gifted to do-let me think on these things and consider carefully what you may be calling me to, but don't let me miss the "right now" and the place where I am because I am dreaming and yearning for something better. Thank you for the perseverance that you may develop in me through the mundane or the undesirable.
Thank you for being my joy and hope so that my life is not about my comfort or having the right job or being the most successful or worthwhile. You are my greatest affection.
