Need some help praying in the next week? Check out Justin Earley’s words and practices of “noon-day prayers,” and then take some time each day to be with God.
“Kneeling prayer midday at work is a habit that reframes the workday in love because it resets the paradigm, often just when it’s falling apart. . . .
My short prayers for midday often have to do with a confession that I’ve made my work about me. Then, hoping to rewire that impulse, I pray for a client or a coworker. Sometimes I try to remember the way our products or services affect people I’ll never meet. Sometimes I think about how they affect people who can’t afford them. Sometimes I pray for the unemployed. Sometimes I just sit in silence and look out the window.“
