God, in your goodness,
You have made a home for the worker.
Make a place in our hearts for compassion
for the men and women who labor tirelessly
for basic necessities.
Ensure a place for those who are struggling to find work.
Grant us Your wisdom to greet and care for those
who are unable to work due to illness or circumstances
that prevent their participation.
Be with us all, Christ Jesus, as we go about
the busyness of our work.
Hold us accountable not only for our actions,
but most importantly to each of our neighbors.
We ask this in Your holy name,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
