Prayer Before Work

I have been reading a few books lately, such as Deborah Blake’s Everyday Witchcraft and more recently Dianne Sylvan’s The Circle Within, that discuss how to build a daily practice. I have been inspired and have introduced many of these concepts in my daily life.

One of which is a prayer before starting my work day. I find this one particularly helpful before starting my hectic day:

I am your priestess, Lord and Lady.

Let this work be a sacrament

As I support my livelihood.

May my actions be a prayer,

May my hands and words be balanced,

May I walk with your grace.

With harm to none and love for all.

So mote it be.

~ from Dianne Sylvan’s The Circle Within
