Lately, with my injury and interviews, I've had a lot of people express that they were praying or would pray for me. This usually results in an awkward "Thank you" or "I appreciate it" since I don't really know what else to say or how to respond. Similarly, I've noticed a tendency to ask for "good thoughts" rather than prayers when something big is coming up in my life or something isn't going as well as it could.
I'm not a particularly religious person and haven't been so for years. Essentially, I wholeheartedly believe that if I do right by myself, by others, and by a higher power, I should be good to go in the long run. I'm very much aware that there are many people who thrive on weekly services and other affirmations of their faith, but I've never really gotten much out of it. I realized long ago that though that it may seem selfish, there were better and more personal ways for me to make that connection.
Regardless of your beliefs and how you express them, I'm comfortable with myself and mine. Oh, and I'm always on the lookout for what fits for me in case I'm not the only one.
