A prayer for Labor Day.

A prayer for Labor Day

   For all who work to help make
      the world function, I pray.
   For the unemployed and those who
      work without a living wage, I pray.
   For families unable to support
      themselves, I pray.
   For those unable to work, I pray.
   For those whose livelihood is
      threatened by technology, I pray.
   For families that suffer because of
      workplace pressures, I pray.
   For persons with decision-making
      power but without a moral compass,
      I pray.
   For myself, I pray that I may act in these
      challenging times with your power.
   Lord, grant your grace to all of us, that
      your will may be done in the
      workplace. Amen.
