I daren’t ask how many times we have been in elevators! Yeah, yeah in Fl, Ca, the Midwest, down South…etc less likely, but in the NE a daily/monthly ‘ritual’!
2 things came to mind! Was there a delay in opening? Was it running normally? Either way, we need to be conscious!
Covering your day with God is a spiritual practice of surrendering your morning, decisions, and worries to Him before beginning your daily activities.

Gratitude: Start by thanking God for breath, life, salvation, and past mercies.
Seeking Guidance: Ask for divine wisdom, discernment, and alignment with His Word for upcoming tasks and interactions.
Protection and Favor: Pray for God’s presence to act like a shield or shade around your work, travel, family, and unseen challenges.
Evening Trust: Conclude the day by entrusting what you cannot control or finish back into God’s hands for peace and rest.
