Father, thank You for the work You have given me to do. Let my tasks today be an act of worship to You and a blessing to those around me. Amen.

Thanks Madison for the great insight. God does reward us to work hard and not want the other people are doing, that is God 's department since he is a just God he will make it right in the end.
Thank you God for giving me a job to go to during these troubled times.🙏❤️
Amen
