Work isn’t easy, but it’s full of opportunity.

Our work is the means by which God gets done what he wants done in the world: people fed, housed, clothed, informed, educated…

Our work contributes towards God’s purposes, towards human flourishing, and towards care of his creation. Your work matters.

It also matters to God because you matter to God, your colleagues matter to God, and the organisation you work in matters to God. Our work isn’t perfect, our companies aren’t perfect, we aren’t perfect, but Jesus is good news for all of it. The restoration he brings, the redemption he brings, the truth and justice, the hope. And all these things he can bring through you.

We want to help you recognise all the ways God could be (and already is) at work in your work.

VISION

God is intensely interested in how each of us uses the talents, resources, power, opportunities, and freedoms he’s given us at work.

Mark Greene, LICC’s Mission Champion, explains the bigger picture.

Prayer journeys

Working from Rest

Sabbath rest is essential to our identity as God’s people: a gift to refresh us and equip us for good work. This prayer journey will help you explore the reasons for restlessness, God’s gift of rest, and how your work – in your job, your home, or your street – can flow from that place of rest and connection with him.

Routed in Prayer

The first two weeks in a new job are a whirlwind. But they’re also an opportunity to discover how your work, workplace, and fellow workers matter to God in ways you hadn’t imagined.

Navigating Transition

From a new marriage to a job loss, transition can feel like a rough sea, full of ups and downs. Whether you’re excited or fearful, prayer is vital to help you navigate change. This prayer journey will help you navigate times of transition with God – and grow your trust in him.

Fit for Life: A Prayer Journey for Workers

We wouldn’t expect to get physically fit without putting in some work. The same goes for getting spiritually fit – so this journey encourages us in our own spiritual growth and vitality.

Growing in Resilience: A Prayer Journey

Whether confronted with difficult life events or extended periods of pressure, resilience helps us to emerge stronger, wiser, and with a deeper faith. This prayer journey helps us develop practices to grow that resilience.

40 Faces, 40 Places

40 Faces, 40 Places This journey answers the question ‘what is God doing out there through people like me?’ Over 40 days, you’ll discover diverse, real-life stories of Christlike impact in every walk of life, from an online support group to the High Court Bench.

Our prayer journeys will help you pray with renewed energy, creativity, and faith for your workplace.
