Is it okay to pray at work for guidance and protection?

[Anonymous]

I pray at work silently whenever Im anxious and for God to help me to do my job correctly and for protection and guidance so I won't have problems at work. I work at hospital as an admin assistant and Im always anxious around people I constantly check things due to my OCD and sometimes I just sit on corner and pray silently for God to help me and protect me

As long as your prayer does not break any workplace rules (often hospitals have nondenominational chapels just for prayer) or take you away from doing your required work, then you're probably fine.

Anxiety - especially in your sort of work - is understandable. If prayer helps you feel calm and able to function, then that's fantastic!

But don't rely on God for everything. Remember She acts through you and She helps those who help themselves. This is an opportunity for you to strengthen yourself as well as your prayer.

Of course. Don't start a prayer circle, or anything. But your faith is your own and you can practice it as you wish. Up until the point of directly impacting others.

Yep, it's perfectly fine
