Prayer for Diligence

"The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied." - Proverbs 13:4

Prayer for Renewed Energy

Faithful God, Teach me the value of hard work, The reward of discipline. Help me form good habits, That overcome laziness. Let industry mark my days, As I live for You. Amen.
