Amen. This is a prayer that echoes the heart of Moses in Psalm 90: "Establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands." It is a surrender of our labors to God, asking that they would have meaning, purpose, and fruitfulness beyond our own ability.
Here is a prayerful poem for God's blessing upon your work.
---
Bless the Works of My Hand
These hands that toil, these skills I bring,
The humble,daily offering.
The simple tasks,the grand design—
I consecrate them all as Thine.
Please, Lord, bless the works of my hand.
Bless the labor, bless the sweat,
The fruits of effort,not gathered yet.
Bless the planning and the art,
And the motives of my heart.
Let my work be more than noise,
More than chasing fleeting joys.
Let it be a faithful sowing,
In a grace that's ever-flowing.
Where my own strength is not enough,
In challenges and pressures rough,
Be my wisdom,be my guide,
Stand forever by my side.
And when the work is done and seen,
Let it be for You,my King.
Not for my glory or my name,
But to magnify Your fame.
Let my work provide for need,
A blessing sown,a righteous seed.
Let it serve and let it build,
A purpose by Your Spirit filled.
So bless the works of my hand, I pray,
And use them in Your kingdom's way.
From this day forth,may all I do
Be done for love of You.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."
— Colossians 3:23
