Bless in the marketplace.

 Amen. "Bless me in the marketplace" is a prayer for God's favor, guidance, integrity, and provision in your work, business, and daily interactions. It is the acknowledgment that your labor is not separate from your faith—it is an expression of it. Whether in an office, a shop, a field, or a boardroom, the Lord is with you, and He desires to bless the work of your hands.
