Devotion: Worshipful Work

Life can feel like a constant grind sometimes, can't it? We're all balancing responsibilities—whether it's school, a job, family, or other commitments. It's easy to get overwhelmed and lose sight of why we're doing it all. We can get caught up in the stress of deadlines and the weight of expectations. But what if all that hard work isn't just about getting ahead or earning a paycheck? What if it's actually an act of worship? What is work?

Navy Bday Ball Region Southwest 2023

Almighty Father, our ever present help, refuge and strength. We invoke you to bless this gathering of the sons and daughters of liberty as we celebrate 248 years of American Naval Service. As we recount the courage and honor of the forefathers who donned our nation's cloth. We ask that you protect, guide and strengthen our comrades in arms who have heeded liberty's call to oppose tyranny and terrorism. As we take part in these Naval traditions, remind us that freedom comes at a cost. Remind our nation that they may sleep peacefully at night because our warriors of the sea stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Bless the families of these mariners who have sacrificed and now bear Old Glory over foreign shores. God bless America so that we may stand a nation for another 248 years with freedom and justice for all. In the name of He who is always faithful we pray, Amen
