Like smooth stones skipping, every prayer has a ripple effect. Love creates invisible waves of grace that change everything. Saint Augustine said “Faith is to believe what you do not see; The reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” We certainly don’t always see the ripple effect of our prayers right away, and […]
When I was younger, I turned to God to get what I wanted out of life. I was educated and had always been a caring, hard working and relatively well behaved person, but I noticed in the adult world, those weren’t necessarily the characteristics required to achieve happiness.
