The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.—Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.—Colossians 3:23 (NIV)
Many people make a big mistake by dreading their work and thinking of it as a period of time they must suffer through. The truth is, work is a blessing. No matter what job you hold, your contribution is necessary and worthwhile. Work can be a source of satisfaction and strength…when you let it.
Dear Lord, help me to recognize the power of work—and to see my job as the blessing it really is.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.—Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
