August 5, 2020
Father, I dedicate this new day to you, as I go about my work.
I ask you to bless those with whom I come in contact.
Lord, I pray for all those who work during this pandemic.
Keep them safe and give them satisfaction and pride in what they do.
Spirit of God, comfort those who are unemployed;
they are your children and my brothers and sisters.
Keep them safe and out of harm’s way during this crisis;
and deliver to us a way to safely return to work.
