Psalm 23 (for the workplace)

The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want.
He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.
He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without
murmuring and complaining.

He reminds me that He is my source and not my job.
He restores my sanity every day and guides my decisions
that I might honor Him in all that I do.

Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, system
crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping
co-workers, discriminating supervisors and an aging body
that doesn't cooperate every morning, I still will not stop ---
for He is with me! His presence, His peace, and His power
will see me through.

He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me.
He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens
to let me go. His faithfulness and love is better than any bonus check.
His retirement plan beats and 401k there is!
When it's all said and done, I'll be working for Him a whole lot
longer and for that,

I BLESS HIS NAME!!!

LOL who says Scripture isn't relevant in our daily lives??? :op

Amen. That's such an inspiring post Janet and the message in there is one we always need to be reminded of. Even though what we do during the day is nothing alike, when I am in my workplace or home for that matter, it's a constant struggle between the world and God. I don't even manage to do everything in my home without complaining some days. And I seem to forget very quickly that God is in control and that my identity is in Him and not what I have, what I read or enjoy, what I wear, how many places I've traveled to, or what other people think about me, etc, etc, etc!!
Praying for you as you deal with your large workload with strength and grace my dear friend.
