FAITH & WORK – Daily Devotions
Life isn’t always easy. At times we all face tough choices, pressure in relationships, and demands on our time. These resources will help you find fresh ways to pray and meditate about your work – if not every day, then whenever you get the opportunity.
Faith in Business Prayer
Faith in Business Prayer is a network of Christians in business who pray for each other and for the working world around them. Every fortnight on alternate Wednesdays, Richard Higginson sends out an email letter with reflections on the latest current affairs and suggestions for prayer. Every two months the group meets online to share needs and concerns, and to pray for each other.
LICC Prayer Journeys
London Institute for Contemporary Christianity offers a series of daily prayer journeys, with daily prompts in your email inbox to spark your imagination, encouraging you to pray, however briefly, with renewed energy, creativity and faith that God’s purposes will be worked out in your life. From Navigating Transition, through Starting a New Job, Growing in Resilience, Wisdom for Life, Trusting God, to Whole Life Worship and more, each journey lasts between 14 and 40 days.
Today God is First
Today God Is First offers four sets of daily 4-minute meditations, one thought for each day of the year. All are aimed at people who work. You can read them every day on the TGIF website, sign up for a daily email in your inbox, or buy a book containing the whole year’s messages.
Aimed at an American audience, these may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but there is some real gold here. (Warning – you will be asked to donate and encouraged to support a particular brand of politics, but there is of course no obligation to do so.)
