A Prayer for Labor Day

SOURCE:   Peter Marshall, circa 1937

KEYWORD: labor, vocation, work, career, witness, 


Lord Jesus,

Bless all who serve us,

who have dedicated their lives

to the ministry of others—

All the teachers of our schools

who labor so patiently with so little appreciation;

all who wait upon the public,

the clerks in the stores who have to accept criticism,

complaints, bad manners, and selfishness

at the hands of a thoughtless public.

Bless the mailmen, the drivers of streetcars

and busses who must listen to people

who lose their tempers.

Bless every humble soul who, in these

days of stress and strain, preaches sermons

without words. Amen.
