A Prayer for a New Job

Father, thank You for this new job. I asked, You opened the door, and tomorrow I walk through it.

Calm my first-day jitters — the new badge, the new names, the new coffee machine I won't know how to work.

Help me learn fast and ask questions without shame. Give me favor with my new coworkers and patience with myself while everything is still unfamiliar.

Let me become, in time, the person there that others are glad to see walk in.

This job was Your gift, Lord. Help me treat it that way.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this the night before your first day, while you lay out your clothes and figure out the commute. It's also worth praying again at the end of week one, when the newness has worn off but the learning curve hasn't.

A Verse to Hold On To

"The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto." — Deuteronomy 28:8 (KJV)
