Pray for Employers:

Pray For Those In Authority Over You and Then Trust Them:

Pray Colossians 4:1, "Masters, (employers) provide your slaves (employees) with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven."

Father, we pray that employers will treat their employees with respect.

Pray for Employees:

Pray Colossians 3:22-24, "Slaves, (employees) obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

Pray 1 Timothy 6:1-2, "All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God's name and our teaching may not be slandered. Those who have believing masters are not to show less respect for them because they are brothers. Instead, they are to serve them even better, because those who benefit from their service are believers, and dear to them."

Pray for Workplace Ethics:

Father, we pray for employees that they would consider their supervisors worthy of full respect, so that your name and your Word may not be slandered. Let their lives reflect your love and your righteousness. Whatever they do, let them do it unto you and not unto man.
