How do you pray to close a meeting?
Almighty God, we started this meeting with you, and we are closing it with you. Thank you for making this meeting a success. We would not have done it without you because many are our plans, but it is you who establishes them. May the things we have learned today stir our hearts and may we put them into action.
What do you say before invocation?
You can build your invocation prayer around a simple formula, for example: Address God as appropriate for your beliefs. Talk to God. This is where you ask for what you need: a blessing on those in need, a request that God guide your decisions or support when everyone’s exhausted.
How long should an invocation be?
Keep it brief. Pick one or two talking points to pray, reflect or meditate upon. The natural tendency is to rush through — especially if delivering a meal’s blessing to a hungry audience. Remain focused and sincere, yet brief, keeping the invocation to roughly one to two minutes.
