And you shall rejoice

  before the LORD your God

in all that you undertake.

          Deuteronomy 12. 18

(Rejoicing before the LORD

      in what we do

      and in all we do

radically changes what we do,

how we do it,

how we approach it,

how we navigate through,

and changes us

     right in the middle of it,

a calm in the midst of the storm,

a underlying joy

    even in impossible situations.

Not a change of attitude

   but an act of worship.

How can we bring joy

    to our tasks today

in worship and witness

and even in with-ness?

Joy impacts our hearts

  and everyone around us.)

O LORD,

Please fill us with Your joy

    in all that we do today

that we would bring

   Your holy name

   right where we are.

Help us to know

  there is no insignificant work

  in Your eyes

and nothing that You do not

     use for Your glory.

You have woven into our day

   sacred encounters

   and divine appointments,

far more than we realize.

Help us to worship You fully

         in our work today.

No matter what.
