...because I can't overtly comment on this in certain places

A very real message:

"Yesterday at the IT staff training meeting for laptop returns, I
mentioned that I would be willing to lead prayer each of the next three
mornings for our staff and the university. This morning three of us
were able to share our thoughts and feeling with God about laptop
returns. We prayed for all of you who are helping with laptop returns.
Anyone is welcome to join us over the next two mornings for prayer. Do
not feel like it is mandatory you attend. Just know that we are praying
for our staff and the university as we look to go through laptop returns
with the strength of God."
