In the Company of Prayer In the Company of Prayer provides a quick, daily prayer for business professionals We don’t take those skills nor their requisite responsibilities lightly.

The ethical business executive understands that we’ve been given a very specific skill set from above. Yet in spite of this, those of us in positions requiring business acumen have unique barriers to a community of like-thinkers. In the Company of Prayer intends to service such a community with a prayer via email each workday that is short enough to be read off a PDA and is accompanied by a pertin

As we gather to share a meal, it’s more than just nourishment for our bodies; it’s nourishment for our souls. The dinner table is where we can teach our children the values we hold dear, celebrate our blessings, and draw closer to God as a family. It’s in these moments that we have the opportunity to plant seeds of faith that will grow and flourish in our children’s hearts.

In Deuteronomy 6:6-7, we are reminded, "These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Our meals together provide the perfect setting to fulfill this command, turning our daily routines into moments of spiritual growth.

As many of you know, this past Lenten season marked the conclusion of our Morning Briefing daily emails. We have continued to provide periodic emails to keep this family of ours in shared reflection; we hope you are enjoying it and are reminded of the prayers we all share.

We have since been focusing on our Scripture dinnerware company, Feed on the Word. We encourage you to follow us there for reflections on Scripture, faith-filled homemaking and fostering a Christ-centered family.

We have been blessed by this community and give thanks to the Lord who shared you all with us.

With continued thanks and many more prayers,
Company of Prayer

Pray for those who've been beaten down; may they not lose their enthusiasm.

"At Alaska Airlines, we have provided prayer cards to our customers for more than 30 years. A former marketing executive borrowed the idea from another airline and introduced the cards to our passengers in the late 1970s to differentiate our service. The cards have been provided only to our First Class customers since meal tray service ended in coach six years ago. Beginning February 1, 2012, however, we'll be eliminating the cards entirely." -- Bill Ayer, Chairman and CEO, Alaska Air Group & Brad Tilden, President, Alaska Airlines, In a letter to their customers

18/01/2024

Remind me again, Lord, that your plan for me is bigger than my own for myself.

"Success is not forever and failure isn't fatal." -- Ken Blanchard, The Heart of a Leader

17/01/2024

Let us pray.

"Prayer is as essential to the inner life as breath is to the body." -- Don M. Aycock, How to Have a Conversation with God

May we be the light another may be desperate to see.

"If there was a bright spot in the epic gridlock, it was the Southern-style graciousness. Strangers opened up their homes and volunteers served coffee and snacks to the traffic-bound." -- AP, Helicopters search for stranded Southern drivers

15/01/2024

On my willingness to listen and to hear, I pray.

"Speak, for your servant is listening." -- 1 Samuel 3:10

Lord, give strength to those praying at work for a miracle.

11/01/2024

Lord, reinforce in me the flexibility I need to weather the storm.

"Trees look strong compared with wild reeds. But when the storm comes, the trees are uprooted, whereas the wild reeds, while moved back and forth remain rooted and stand up again after the storm has calmed down. Flexibility is a great virtue." -- Henry J.M. Nouwen, Bread for the Journey

10/01/2024

Give me strength against all my enemies, I pray.

"Anxiety is the soul's greatest enemy, sin only excepted. When the heart is anxious and disquieted within itself, it loses the power to preserve those virtues which are already acquired, and also the means of resisting temptations of Satan, who does not fail to test the strength of the rope." -- St. Francis deSales

Lord, with so many shiny things out there to distract us, let us find and focus on the star of our salvation.

"So why is the feast called Epiphany? The word itself, in its religious connotations, means 'the appearance of a superhuman being.' But the word epiphany can also mean 'a revelation, a realization,' and that's exactly what we recall on this day. On this feast, the significance of Mary's son was revealed to all people--not just shepherds and angels, but Jews and Gentiles alike. For the Magi, this day was truly an epiphany. They followed the star, not knowing what to expect, and it led them to the desires of their hearts." -- Woodeene Koenig-Bricker, 365 Mary

05/01/2024

Lord, help us to remember that though the struggle is difficult, it holds the promise of salvation.

"Something happened to me that hellish muggy day as I sat on the curb seven years ago. For a long time I didn't know how to describe what it was, but now I do. I was saved." -- Joe Eszterhas, Crossbearer

To the Lord who hears my cries, thank you. "All creatures that walk the earth, including man, possess the instinct to cry for help. Are not cries a form of prayer? Is it not incomprehensible in a world governed by nature's law to give a lamb, or a mule, or a bird, or man the instinct to cry out for help lest some great mind has also provided that the cry should be heard by some superior power having the ability to hear and answer our cry? Henceforth I will pray, but my cries for help will only be cries for guidance." -- Og Mandino, The Greatest Salesman in the World www.companyofprayer.com #prayer #worldsgreatestsalesman #ogmandino #help #guidance #cry #companyofprayer #insight #integrity #inspiration #reflection #wisdom #work #workday #prayers #business #leadership #sales #commitment #sanclemente #california #sanclementelife

Let us look for and find beauty, happiness, faith and courage, we pray. "On Tuesday, March 7, 1944, Anne Frank wrote in her journal, 'Beauty remains, even in misfortune. If you just look for it, you discover more and more happiness. A person who has courage and faith will never die in misery.'" -- from Debbie Macomber's, Once Upon a Lifetime www.companyofprayer.com #beauty #happiness #faith #courage #annefrank #debbiemacomber #companyofprayer #insight #integrity #inspiration #workday #prayers #business #prayer #reflection #leadership #mentor #commitment

Today I give thanks for my specific talents as I continue to build a worthy legacy. "In a survey of 90-year-olds, when asked what they would have done differently, they responded, 'Risk more, reflect more and leave a legacy that matters.'" -- Dr. Linda Livingstone, Dean of Pepperdine University Business School , at a South Shores Business and Leadership Network luncheon pc: Jake Sparks www.companyofprayer.com #specific #talents #build #worthy #legacy #risk #reflect #pepperdine #companyofprayer #insight #integrity #inspiration #leadership #mentor #wisdom #commitment #workday #prayers #business #prayer

Help me, Lord, to know you through the work I do, and to see you through the work of others. "Theology is knowing truth about God. That's important, but not as important as knowing God; just knowing things about your friend is not as important as knowing your friend." -- Peter Kreeft, Prayer: The Great Conversation www.companyofprayer #work #knowledge #truth #theology #friendship #insight #integrity #inspiration #companyofprayer #reflection #leadership #mentor #wisdom #clarity #workday #business #prayers #management #conversation #reef #expansion #sanclemente

Lord, may we find peace with the journey, wherever we are on it. "Most of us have been too busy writing the story of our life in the first half to be able to read it. Attention to our own stories is partly forced on us by circumstances in the second half of life. Our children mature and move out, our colleagues retire and move on, our parents and friends grow old and pass away--all of these events focus our minds on who we are, how we've gotten here and where we're going." -- Richard J.

May I see the nature of God in the work I produce today. "We are workers because we are made in the image of a God who works. Like our Creator, we also need to engage in creative and purposeful activities; it is fundamental to who we are." -- Alistair Mackenzie and Wayne Kirkland, Where's God on Monday? www.companyofprayer.com www.companyofprayer.com #work #produce #achieve #creativity #purpose #godisgood #activity #fundamentals #leadership #companyofprayer #commitment #career #mentor #insight #integrity #inspiration #motivation #workday #prayers #business #prayer

Lord, you are a place where I can find comfort in the unknown. "I get concerned when I am too sure about who I think God is. While it is helpful to designate names and qualities for God so we can relate personally to this great Mystery, we must humbly admit that no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God." -- Sr. Joyce Rupp, Living Faith www.companyofprayer.com #comfort #unknown #god #mystery #companyofprayer #insight #integrity #inspiration #leadership #commitment #godiseverywhere #mentor #motivation #work #day #prayer #business #prayers #wisdom #livingfaith

For clarity this Christmas, for all of us, I pray. "It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.' So begins The Tale of Two Cities, Dickens great novel. If this were the best of times, would I know it? We are in the midst of the most family-oriented holidays, and I think families have a 'golden age,' a time when everyone is at the right age to appreciate the holidays and enjoy each other. I do not think that I was ever aware when Christmas was for me at its best. Is your family at such a 'golden age?' I hope you are aware of that wonderful fact." -- Reverend James O'Leary, I Think I Am Happier Than I Think I Am www.companyofprayer.com #joy #christmas #celebrate #family #tradition #intrigue #babyjesus #companyofprayer #work #day #prayer #love #godiseverywhere #insight #reflection #leadership #commitment #happiness #clarity #dickens #goldenage #awareness #wonderful #life
