I wonder if...

Yesterday, I asked one of my team members, "I wonder if our customers know how much we pray for them?"

Lord, bless this appointment.
Lord, make me a blessing to this customer.
Lord, this customer is difficult.  Is she hurting?
Lord, PLEASE let this gown be in stock!
Lord, help me find the matching fabric...
Lord, where did that spot come from?  Now show me how to remove it...please??
Lord, please let this gown fit (usually prayed while I'm trying to zip it!)
Lord, please help me be kind to this frustrated bridesmaid.
Lord, please bless the bride who is wearing this gown today, and make a happy marriage.

There is no difference between secular and sacred.  We are called to serve, called to be kind, called to "pray one for another".
