Say a Little Prayer... then Email it

Prayer takes various shapes and forms. Yesterday was my first exposure to prayer via email. It's no surprise that as BearingPoint collapses in on itself, so too does the general morale of the remaining workforce. One of the last men standing took it upon himself/herself to summon the company to prayer yesterday afternoon as the bankruptcy court determined the fate of employee severance packages. In an email to all emplyees he wrote;

"We have an hour to focus only on what we want, not what we don’t, so I urge you to pray with me:
God, please shed light, clarity and love on the courts, judges, lawyers, and especially the creditors that they see how important the BearingPoint team is and how deserving they are of the severance and PTO that is coming to them. May all BearingPoint employees receive their severance and PTO."

Yesterday the court ruled in favor of employee's receiving severance according to company policy, but determined that PTO needs to be considered further and should not be paid out at this time. What we can conclude from this chain of events is that God was in fact in the courtroom yesterday, and while we can thank Him for protecting our severance, we have to assume that He may have sat back while the court was in debate over employee PTO. To be fair, God doesn't get to take vacation days, so why should we?
