Labor Day Prayer

God, in your goodness, make a place in our hearts for compassion to the men and women who labor tirelessly for basic necessities. Ensure a place for the men and women who are struggling to find work. Grant us your wisdom to care for those who are unable to work due to illness or circumstances that prevent their participation. Be with the children who are not able to run and play, but instead must put in a hard day’s work to help their family afford to eat, to live. Be with us all, Jesus Christ, and may we continue to work together to bring about your reign! We ask this in your name, through the Holy Spirit. Amen.
