You shall make

    a plate of pure gold

and engrave on it,

like the engraving of a signet,

     "Holy to the LORD."

            Exodus 28. 36

(May everything we do

bear these words,

the signature of God on it,

not to let God know,

but to remind us

that all we do

       is worship to Him.

How differently would we

   approach this day,

what is before us,

not a mundane

           or weary task,

   but a sacred assignment?

All we do

    brings glory to God.)

O LORD,

Please help us

as we approach this work,

this task,

even the hard stuff,

to write Your name

     at the top of the paper.

May we not just

         be mindful of You

but seek to glorify You

by walking with You

    and working in Your name,

realizing there is

     no secular dividing line.

All is sacred in Your sight.

May whatever we do today

  and how we love You

              in tangible ways

   be our utmost

         for Your glory.
