"In my deepest, darkest moments, 
what really got me through was a prayer. 
Sometimes my prayer was 'Help me.' 
Sometimes a prayer was 'Thank you.' 
What I've discovered is that 
intimate connection and communication 
with my creator will always get me through 
because I know my support, my help, 
is just a prayer away.
- Iyanla Vanzant

And sometimes my prayer is closing my eyes, feeling the breeze on my face, becoming mindful, and listening. 

We can't see the wind but we can feel its nearness, its presence. 

Let's pause at times today. And in our own way, let's pray. 

Wishing you hope and peace,
Charlene
