A PRAYER FOR LABOR DAY
Lord, on this Labor Day, we thank you for the blessing of work.
We ask for strength to complete each day.
We ask for rest when we are weary.
We ask your guidance for everyone seeking employment.
And we ask that you be with those who faces we might never see, but who work tirelessly each day for the good of us all. Amen.
