Why Pray? Why Meditate?

Description

Prayer and meditation, friends, are where we slow down so we can hear a silence into which another voice may speak. I hold this time as a gentle conversation with the Lord that steadies the heart like warm summer breezes. Yes, they help us feel better, and that matters; yet I keep turning my palms upward to remember the deeper call to lift the world up in prayer. In the quiet I release “not my will, but yours,” trusting God to breathe life into the unique form of love I am created to be, and to give the kind of insights that soften our opinions and open us to mercy for our neighbors.
