	Description:		Work has been part of God’s design for humanity since the very beginning. Genesis 2:15 reminds us that the Lord placed Adam in the Garden of Eden “to work it and take care of it.” Even though the Fall introduced toil, frustration, and hardship into our labor, God still uses our work to shape us, bless us, and draw us closer to Him. If you’ve ever wrestled with the Monday morning blues or felt like your job was mundane and meaningless, this prayer is for you. God calls us to shift our perspective—from working for human approval to working as though serving Him directly. When we resist complaining, guard our hearts from pride, and dedicate our daily efforts to His glory, even the simplest of tasks become meaningful. Main Takeaways Work was created by God as a gift, not as punishment. True satisfaction in labor comes from serving God, not seeking human recognition. Scripture encourages us to see our jobs as opportunities to glorify the Lord (Colossians 3:23, Ephesians 6:7). A faithful heart at work can transform even ordinary responsibilities into acts of worship. Bible Verse References Genesis 2:15 – God placed Adam in the Garden to work and care for it. Philippians 2:14 – Do everything without grumbling or arguing. Colossians 3:23 – Work as if working for the Lord, not human masters. Ephesians 6:7 – Serve wholeheartedly as if serving God. 1 Peter 4:11 – Use your gifts to bring praise to God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 – Whatever you do, do it all for God’s glory. 2 Timothy 2:15 – Do your best to present yourself approved to God.
