In our busy lives, it can be easy to forget those less fortunate than us.
It’s true what they say: sometimes you don’t know how blessed you are until you stop and take the time to genuinely empathize with those who experience poverty and suffering every day.
Prayer is one of the most powerful tools we possess; it has been said that prayers offered in lovingkindness and compassion carry a greater power than any other kind of prayer.
Today, let’s come together to offer up a collective prayer for those facing hardship in this world!
Join me as we take a moment to pause and open our hearts towards an intention of healing and support—not only for ourselves but also for anyone in need—as we put forth sincere intentions of well-being throughout our beautiful planet.
