Prayer Before Work Novels & Stories

Sonny said, “You are very thoughtful, young lady.” Hailey was quite embarrassed. “Don’t you think I’m just cheating?” Sonny smiled. “Young lady, I’ve heard that you have to pray every day. Sincerity can move mountains. As long as you are sincere, praying and transcribing wouldn’t be very different. Young lady, you’ve just started working, and there are many things you need to learn. You also have to dedicate time to expand your network, so energy is precious. Right now, you shouldn’t waste time transcribing sutras. This is just a matter of convenience. It’s not cheating.”

“Before we eat, let’s pray.” The lively chatter died down. The children pressed their palms together, bowing their heads. Nadia glanced at the group, then spoke softly. “I’ll lead.” She clasped her hands and closed her eyes. “Lord, thank You for this food, for the hands that prepared it, and for bringing us all together today. Thank You for the blessings You’ve given to this place and for the people who continue to support and care for these children. May this meal nourish our bodies, and may we always find strength in one another. Amen.”

I wake up the next morning to knocking on my door,I groan out loudly before getting out of bed and dragging my feet to open the door. I opened only to face Dean in suit holding a cup of coffee.

"No seriously,it is almost 9am and you were still asleep, everyone is up and moving. I came to check if you needed ride to go home, don't you have work."he says walking into the room.

"If I were you, I'm going to start now a prayer." "Then you lead the prayer, Mom." "Basil Zafeiriou!" Irish yelled at his name. "Oops. mommy is angry, Daddy." Bethena covered her eyes with her tiny hands. "Okay, okay I'm going now to make a prayer for us. Let's hold each other hands," he ordered, holding now the hand of his daughter and beloved wife while their eyes are closed. "Dear Lord, I really don't know how to pray but I will try my best for my wife, daughter and everyone who are with us right now. There's no more lot of say and I will just thank you for giving this day for us. Thank you for giving me a reason to change and thank you for giving these angels with me. I maybe did bad thi

I want to share those with her – even if she doesn't want to share that with me yet. "Two minutes out," I hear and now I know I need to let everything go. I'm not religious but in these moments before we reach a target, I always say a little prayer and give it to God. It's the only thing that lets me get through what are sometimes hairy parts.

I closed my eyes. "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins, just as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen."

I just know that I have a lot of energy to spare during my work today. I need to work even harder to earn more money and reap more rewards. We only have less than ten minutes before the official opening of the coffee shop. I washed my hands and sanitize them as well while I am at it. Aside from me, the other employees lined up as well on the counter near the employees' lounge area. We all did a team yell to lift everybody's spirits at work. This also maintains the positive atmosphere inside our workplace.

“Father God, please don’t send me a husband who isn’t sure what he wants. Bless me with a completely dedicated husband who will put his family first. It is a sin to engage in fornication. We won’t commit adultery since I don’t have a ring on my finger, Lord! What is the purpose of this prayer? Is she going to use God to take away my rights? I waited for her to complete her prayer before opening my eyes. I shifted my gaze to Xavier. The boy was already eating. I heard an Amen after some time. I will not say Amen to that. She made things interesting at my office today by asking me to say Amen to the prayer. Hell, that will not happen. With daggers in my eyes, I glanced at her. “How was your da
