When I need motivation for work

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Receiving:
Son, whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for me, not for people, knowing that you will receive the inheritance from me as your reward. It is me you are serving.

Responding:
Lord Jesus, whatever I do, may I work at it with all my heart, as working for You, not for people, knowing that I will receive the inheritance from You as my reward. It is You, Lord Jesus, I am serving.

When I want to control things outside of my control

I returned and saw under the sun that—
The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and chance happen to them all.

When attacked by the spirit of heaviness

*”To console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.”*

Receiving:
Son, I console those who mourn in Zion,
I give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

Responding:
Lord Jesus, You console those who mourn in Zion,
You give them beauty for ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of righteousness,
The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

When I need to remember God’s constant presence with me

“I am with you always.”

From God:
Son, I am with you always.

To God:
Lord Jesus, thank You for being always with me.

When I need guidance

*Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.*

Receiving:
Son, trust in me with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to me,
and I will make your paths straight.

Responding:
Father, I will trust in You with all my heart
and I will not lean on my own understanding;
in all my ways, I will submit to You,
and You will make my paths straight.

When I need to remember the one thing to pursue

*”One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.”*

From God:
Son, ask only one thing from me,
seek only this:
that you may dwell in my house
all the days of your life,
to gaze on my beauty
and to seek me in my temple.
For in the day of trouble
I will keep You safe in my dwelling;
I will hide you in the shelter of my sacred tent
and set You high upon a rock.
Then your head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround you;
at my sacred tent you will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
you will sing and make music to me.

To God:
Father, one thing I ask from You,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in Your house,
all the days of my life,
to gaze on Your beauty
and to seek You in Your temple.
For in the day of trouble
You will keep me safe in Your dwelling;
You will hide me in the shelter of Your sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at Your sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to You.

When I need motivation to spend my day in God’s presence

*“Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.”*

Receiving:
Son, better is one day in my courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
It is better to be a doorkeeper in my house than to dwell in the tents of the wicked.

Responding:
Father, better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in Your house than to dwell in the tents of the wicked.
