Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
(Proverbs 6:6)
Pray
You are the creator of all things, and in Your wisdom, You have given us the example of the ant in this verse. Just as the ant works diligently and tirelessly to prepare for the future, I pray that You would instill in me a strong work ethic and a spirit of perseverance. Help me to be disciplined and diligent in all that I do, and to approach my work with a sense of purpose and responsibility. Teach me to prioritize my time and resources, and to use them wisely for the good of others and the glory of Your kingdom.
I ask for Your guidance and wisdom in all my endeavors, and for Your strength to continue pushing forward even when faced with challenges or obstacles. May I always be mindful of the example set by the ant and be faithful in my work, knowing that You are always with me, guiding and supporting me every step of the way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
