Invocation prayers are common openings for a range of events, including church services and meetings, Scout ceremonies, military promotions and retirements, and gatherings of civic or business organizations. An invocation is designed to set the tone for an event and to invoke the presence of God or another higher power during the proceedings. An invocation in a faith-based setting typically calls on God, Jesus or another religious entity, while an invocation to a secular or mixed group will studiously avoid praying to any specific deity. This the opinion of Molly Thompson.
