Too often, we treat prayer like a spiritual grocery list: a moment to rattle off our worries, ask for help, and back into the fray. But the real power of prayer isn’t just in the asking; it’s in the closeness. It’s a deliberate pause to realign ourselves with a love that is steady and unconditional. Today, try taking just three minutes to sit in quiet reflection. Turn off the noise, step away from the screen, and open your heart to that steadying presence.
