Prayer on being made redundant.
Redundant - the word says it all
useless,
unnecessary,
without purpose,
surplus to requirements.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that in the middle of the sadness
the anger,
the uncertainty,
the pain,
I can talk to you.
Hear me as I cry out in confusion
help me to think clearly, and calm my soul.
As life carries on,
may I know your presence with me
each and everyday.
And as i look to the future
help me to look for fresh opportunities, for new directions.
Guide me by Your Spirit, and show me your path,
Through Jesus the way, the truth and the life. Amen.
Prayer for those remaining in the workplace.
Life has changed:
Colleagues have gone - redundant, out of work.
Suddenly, what seemed so secure is now so very fragile.
It's hard to know what I feel:
sadness, certainly,
guilt, almost, at still having a job to go to
and fear of the future:
who will be next?
How will I cope with the increased pressure of work?
Lord Jesus, in the midst of this uncertainty, help me to keep going:
to work to the best of my ability,
taking each day at a time,
and taking time each day to walk with you
for You are the way, the truth and the life. Amen.
