Today my coworker sent me one of those chain e-mails but this one asked to pray for her and send it on to others. So I said to her casually, "I didn't know you were religious."
Then she said, "Yeah I'm trying because some things are going on." Then she shared with me.
Afterwards I sent her an e-mail with a bible verse: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).
And I wrote: In my experience prayers don’t always get answered directly but somehow in the end God grants me peace and understanding. I hope the same for you.
Then I prayed for her.
She replied with a thank you.
I rarely bring up my faith at work, but on rare occasions they fall on my lap. Like that one time when my other co-worker Jane said she was looking for a church and so I invited her to mine. Even though in the end our church wasn't for her it was still pretty cool. Her and her fiance (now husband) came out for over a month and really enjoyed the experience.
