My feet ached and I kept thinking about all the debt I had. Suddenly, a phrase my mom liked to say popped into my thoughts: \u201cWhen there\u2019s nothing else to do, pray.\u201d Wouldn\u2019t hurt to try.<em> God, please give me a new job, teaching kids.<\/em> <em>That\u2019s what I thought You wanted. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Over the next few days, I made a game of it.

I asked her if she was OK. \u201cI\u2019m heading to Florida to take care of my mom,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019ll do a great job,\u201d I said. I carried the trays to the kitchen, thinking of the woman and the many others who came through each day. Standing there next to the sink, I felt that all those prayers for myself were a bit selfish. I know what I\u2019ll do. Each time I wash a tray I\u2019ll say a prayer for the person who used it.<\/p>\n<p>Over the coming weeks I actually stopped dreading my job and started enjoying my coworkers.
