“I have rightfully no other business each day but to do God’s work as a servant, constantly regarding His pleasure. May I have grace to live above every human motive, simply with God and to God.”
― Henry Martyn

Sometimes we get confused.
We think we are the master and God is the servant.
I don’t know that we mean to think that, but that is the way it works out. We pray and ask God to meet our needs. We do it with the best of intentions because we know that he loves us and has good things for us.
Then we arise from our prayers and go live our life. OUR life.
I am the master. God is the servant.
So what if instead we begin the day by saying this prayer, “Thy will be done, Father. What does it look like through my life today?”
And then listen to the Father and go do it; a life lived “simply with God and to God”.
Just working in the family business.
