Behind all the reasons we may have to pray for our work, hides our desire to success in our professional life. But what does it mean to be successful at work? For some it means a ascentfor others in increase, etc. Even though that him social and financial recognition they are very valuable, the most important gift that work can give a Christian goes beyond all this. So, let’s be ambitious: Let us pray to the Lord that our work will serve not only our career, but also the Kingdom of God!
Prayer for spiritual growth through work
“Holy Spirit, giver of life, help me to examine my life and learn to discern what are the weaknesses of my heart that prevent me from living in excellence every day!
Help me, Spirit of God, to correct my bad habits and everything that separates me from good! Help me not to think so much about myself and think more about others!
Help me to put into practice the virtues and overcome my weaknesses! Help me to control my pride and arrogance, to always be more docile to the will of the Father, not to always try to get away with it, to be more humble and concerned about the needs of those around me!
Help me enhance my abilities to overcome those weaknesses that prevent me from giving the best of myself at home, at work, in my social and community life!
Holy Spirit, help me educate my will and repeat and do good, concrete, small and simple acts that strengthen it! Lord, I aspire to holiness even though I am very far from it; help me to always do good by obeying my most intimate inclinations of virtue and goodness!
Help me, Lord, to always do good deeds like you did and to give the best of myself with all my human and spiritual strength!
Jesus, you who have been growing in wisdom and grace before men and God, help me to progress in virtue so that I may resemble you just a little, you are my model! Amen.”
Discover how to develop your gifts and charismas with !
The Lord has given us all gifts and charisms. He asks us to make them bear fruit and to put them at the service of the Kingdom and of others: this is the key to our success! However, knowing how to discern them and understanding how to put them at the service of the Lord is not always an easy task. Therefore, offers you many options for you to grow spiritually.
For example, you can join the community “walk with the saints”, so that every day you receive an email, and you can get to know, little by little, all the saints of the Lord. As you discover their charisms, their journeys, their personalities, the Holy Spirit will inspire you with his examples of holiness, so that you too can walk with God as He wishes.
In addition, you can join the community “What is my vocation?”, so that you learn to pray for vocations according to God’s desire. If you pray to the one who created you, you can ask him to show you his purpose in your life, so that you learn to walk according to his will, serving God and your fellow men.
