Some days … you just have to pray. And today is one of those days. “Lord, prayer has become so important to me. I feel it in my soul … I feel it when I’m in our “humble temple” … I feel it on ordinary days and in random moments. I guess prayer has become a part of me. But sometimes I just don’t know what to say. LIKE NOW. So many feelings. From exhaustion to loud “alleluias.” Missing my best friend … gratitude for those who love me. Worried about all the wars … thankful for the gift of inner peace. Trying to be “all things to all people” … longing for moments when I can just “be me.” Anxious about all the stuff I haven’t done … proud of those things I can do. Moments of doubt, anxiety, and fear … finding comfort, Lord, knowing you are with me. You know me. You care about me. I find comfort in this. Yes, Jesus … you fed the 5000. For me, the real miracle is: you feed and nourish us … one person at a time. As you have fed me … inspire me to feed others with goodness and grace. Amen.” Peace and hope to all —- Don
