Salt and Light

“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. – Matthew 5:13-16

How can we be salt and light in our places of work?

A Written Prayer

“We bless our leaders with integrity and the fear of the Lord. We bless them with wisdom, mercy and justice as they are called to lead. We bless their hearts to be generous and caring, seeking the wellbeing and prosperity of all, and thereby creating a happy and harmonious working environment where trust and joy are at the heart of the workplace.

We bless every wholesome enterprise that is conducted that it may prosper and be successful. We bless business in our nation that would generate a good return which will multiply and replace any poverty. We bless the work of everyone’s hands, that whatever you turn your hand to which is wholesome may be profitable.

In Jesus’ Name

Amen”

Could you prayer walk and pray for the businesses you pass in your local area? (Or prayer drive, cycle, or run).

Unable to prayer walk? Could you pick someone else in our church who you know works for/owns their own business and pray for them?
