Reflection 9-7-17

I am reminded once again how powerful Prayer can be in these troubling times. It is a tool for the faithful to seek out wisdom and understanding. To help calm the mind and bring peace to the restless soul. As followers of Christ we are all called to a prayerful life. It is a conversation with God that allows us to open up our hearts to all that troubles us. Their are those who demand that God give miraculous answers. That everything should be handed down on some kind of silver platter. But I personally have found that God answers our prayers not with the blast of a trumpet. But often with the softest of whispers. Often times in such a subtle way that unless one is looking. One will miss it. In many cases it is more about opening up our minds to see something that we might have missed. I find that prayer is a powerful tool that can help face the darkness of this world. One that we should use more often.

Till next time.
