“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
~ Mahatma Gandhi

I am grateful for the power of prayer which strengthens me and fills me with peace. My prayers are to God and Christ. Prayer is stating something close to the heart and then letting go with a sense of peace. Having prayed, then I strive for awareness for what happens from this prayer.

Prayer makes me feel proactive in supporting family, friends and people unknown to me. Words are not always needed to pray, but a heart is. God doesn’t require us to be in certain places in order to hear our prayers. He will take them no matter where they are given.

This image was captured while observing the steps leading to a church in Dubrovnik. The nun with bowed head touched my heart, and I almost felt invasive to her quiet moments. It is a beautiful moment.

I am grateful for prayer and never underestimate its power.

“Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at His disposition, and listening to His voice in the depth of our hearts.” ~ Mother Teresa

Peace.
