Prayer serves to express gratitude, seek guidance, give thanks, and ask for needs to be met - it is found in nearly all religions. While many believe it’s a communication with God, what follows is often a human act – usually the result of inspiration. While miracles may happen, these are mostly acts by good and concerned people. Giving their time and energy to someone in need. And while many happen in our everyday lives, others can be found in the workplace. Mirage had a program of organized employee volunteerism that included collections for the needy, time with at-risk youth, and visiting the elderly – I even had the opportunity to lead an employee holiday choir that performed in senior centers and hospitals. We encouraged coaching and mentoring to help employees learn how to get ahead and find answers to career questions. There are more needs than resources and the chance to give to those less fortunate or simply seeking a helping hand should be encouraged by leaders. Whether you’re a community or corporate citizen, the opportunity to get involved is a calling much needed and personally fulfilling. Answer a call from wherever, make a call on your own, or lend a hand if you see one is needed. That’s how prayer works. Find your inspiration to do a good deed today.
