02br 02br 00In the small book named 01i 00LET US PRAY02i 00 by Watchman Nee, which is translated, two sentences appear with the word 'work'. Why are there the article 'a' in both of them? I thought the word 'work' without the article is used normally in those situations where the use of the word is related to one's work in the cntext of his/her employment.
