pray

In the movie Shadowlands, which is about C.S. Lewis' twilight romance with Joy Gresham, he says something profound about prayer. He says, "I pray because I have to. I pray because I have no other choice. Prayer doesn't change God, it changes me." This statement resonated with my soul because it's so true. Praying brings us into alignment with the Almighty. It calms our souls and directs our paths. It helps us to understand what is happening presently and to give us hope for the future. It's what Philippians says, "the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
