Prayer for Industry and Commerce: Lord Jesus Christ, as once You shared in our human toil and thus hallowed the work of our hands, bless and prosper those who maintain the industries and service sectors, along will all who toil and labor to bring food from the earth to our tables. Give them a right regard for their labors, and grant them a just reward for their work that they may find joy in serving You and in supplying our needs; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
