Prayer at Work

I never thought that I would experience prayer at work. Many people choose to separate religion from their workplace and school in fear of offending someone these days. There are debates on the topic and groups that fight against prayer in schools and in public places in general. For me, prayer is something very important in my life. I have seen the power of prayer many times in my life...even the little things.
When I first started working, the organization I work for took time to pray for their new employees at orientation. I thought that was unusual but was very thankful that that was part of the orientation and that my first job started with prayer. Yesterday in a meeting a few names and families were mentioned who were in need of prayer. Today there was a dedication for a new building and not only was there prayer, we also sang hymns and read scripture...to me that is pretty cool...to work for an organization like this is such a blessing especially since it is my first experience in the real world. With the world the way it is today, this was all actually surprising to me. I did not ever expect to experience this at work. I know I am fortunate to work for an organization who places an importance on the one true Healer. It was a reminder today of why I do what I do and that I cannot do this job on my own. It also reminded me that this is where I am meant to be at this point in my life. I may not always have this type of work environment and feel like this is only preparing me for what may come in the future. I am truly blessed!
