Prayer on Being Made Redundant

The Church of England published this prayer on Tuesday to help those who have lost their jobs. They also released one for those workers who remain in the workplace; both prayers can be found at http://www.cofe.anglican.org/prayers/.

Here is the Prayer on Being Made Redundant:

‘Redundant’ – the word says it all - ‘useless, unnecessary, without purpose, surplus to requirements.’

Thank you, Heavenly Father, that in the middle of the sadness, the anger, the uncertainty, the pain, I can talk to you.

Hear me as I cry out in confusion, help me to think clearly, and calm my soul.

As life carries on, may I know your presence with me each and every day.

And as I look to the future, help me to look for fresh opportunities, for new directions.

Guide me by your Spirit, and show me your path, through Jesus, the way, the truth and the life. Amen.
