Lord God,
I pray that Your merciful hand lay down upon our brothers who are struggling to labor. Brothers who are out of work or have lost the joy in their work.
Work is fulfilling for a man, and You bless the fruitful with more abundance than their efforts may produce. Lord, I ask Your grace for our brothers fighting to provide for their families, even if there doesn't seem to be a way.
Show them the path. Our brothers equate work with providing and being able to provide with respect. This causes so much stress and worries for men. It chips away at their true joy. I pray they may know peace in their labor and take the time to relax while with their family.
Amen
