o.

I am trying to learn more about what matters.
I have been studying this practice called the daily offices. It’s a re-centering of the self throughout the day to focus on the truth, power, and presence of the Father. The early Jews, followers of Christ, and now churches today pray around the world to commune with one another in prayer. It is a time to internalize the word of God and agree together in words and heart.

I realized today that it hurts when you want others to care about something that you have worked so hard to care about, but they don’t…or won’t.
Please give it a chance, not for me, but for yourself.

For it is hard to hear myself praying above the noise, below the silence. It is one voice declaring a faith, praying a blessing, calling my own heart to worship, and expressing thanks. I can and will do this on your behalf, but we could come together and pray as one.
