Life is Designed to Break Us ❤️🩹
I know that sounds harsh. I know…
Ellie has broken my heart, just a little bit more than it was before. And the result it is now MORE OPEN, and more tender, and more connected to the bigness and beauty of life.
Our heartbreaks do not hurt us. They awaken us to the fragile and fundamental purpose of our existence.
Prayer and Science 🔬
While scientists continue to argue about whether prayer can directly influence real-world events, research indicates that engaging in prayer can have positive psychological effects on the individuals who practice it. [1] [2]
Prayer can help reduce feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and fear, bringing calmness, control, and social support for better mental and emotional well-being. [1] Studies show that praying in groups may lower depression, boost optimism, and can promote and reduce anger. [2] [3]
It’s also clear that there is NO RIGHT way to pray.
So today we’re going to get radical and really out of the box, and discover how we can pray, our way.
