The Most Overlooked Place to Pray

You’re in church two hours a week and at work forty-plus. Where’s the prayer?

I asked Workplace Prayer cofounder Bob Perry once to explain why he loves what we do.

A dedicated church-goer might be in church two hours a week. Three, if their church offers a Sunday school class.
But how many hours a week is that same person in the workplace? Forty? Fifty?
For most people, after sleep, their workplace is the single largest time commitment in any given week.
In August 2020, when we went looking for a good name that combined the workplace and prayer, the URL workplaceprayer.com was available for the minimum asking price.
We thought: almost no one is thinking about how to bring prayer to the workplace.
What a strategic oversight on the part of believers!
The place where God’s people spend the bulk of their time has been entirely overlooked.
And yet prayer for the workplace exists! It’s powerful!
Prayer is the magic key that makes everything else in the business work better.

We offer training and mentoring in prayer, specifically for those in the workplace.

We also support clients through intercession. If your business has reached a place of stagnation—if you need a breakthrough, more financial provision, additional protection, better communication between coworkers, greater alignment of purpose, healthier marriage and relationships with children, a closer walk with God, healing … more prayer would help.

In the Lord, the work you’re doing will not be worthless,

Does God actually care about our work?

Yes! Far more than most of us were ever taught! Get a short, free reflection on why work—the place we spend the most waking hours most weeks—matters to him.
