Psalm 23 for the Work Place

The Lord is my real Boss, and I shall not want.
He gives me peace when chaos is all around me.
He gently reminds me to pray before I speak and to do all things without murmuring and complaining.
He reminds me that He is my Source and not my job.
He restores my sanity every day and guides my decisions that I might honor Him in everything I do.
Even though I face absurd amounts of emails, system crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget checks, gossiping co-workers, discriminating supervisors, and an aging body that doesn’t cooperate every morning, I will not stop – for He is with me!
His presence, His peace and His power will see me through.
He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me.
He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go.
His faithfulness and love are better than any bonus check.
His retirement plan beats every 401K there is.
When it’s all said and done, I’ll be working for Him a whole lot longer and for that, I bless His Name.

Indeed, the Lord is our Shepherd where ever we go and in whatever we are engaged. Many of us have experienced the work place situations presented in this “psalm.” Others have found such circumstances on athletic teams, in classrooms, in public service, etc. The world is often a difficult, demanding and unforgiving place, but the Lord has promised to help us cope with what the world throws at us and bring us through to a peaceful place.
He will indeed overflow our cup if we just hold it out for Him.
