The opening prayer for a meeting should be done with an open mind. It is worth saying that the person who does it must be someone who is good at leading meetings and knows how to keep them on track. It is also worth saying that prayers should be done before the meeting starts and not during, unless it’s very short and needs to be done quickly.
