Please elp spotting error

everyday before (a)/ i start work for my livelihood (b) i do my prayer(c) no error(d)

I think it should be "my prayers", but I was wondering shouldn't it be "working" instead of work

The natural sentence should read like this, so there are many errors: Every day before I start work, I pray.

Could you please expound the difference between "start work" & start working ?

Not much, except that the first is the usual. My contention is with the addition 'for my livelihood', which if used naturally would suggest that this is the first job for a lazy man.

No, of course not: both the singular and the plural exist, and we use both of them on various occasions.
