I have been talking to God a lot over the past week and a half since my mom’s heart attack and additional medical issues. But I have been completely off my usual routine and what I would call my “formal” prayer time. Later this morning I decided it was time to get my room cleaned up and some laundry done. As I was tidying up, I put on some of my favorite Christian music. Then I spied a prayer card with one of my favorite pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus on it. I immediately felt a deep sense of peace wash over me. I stopped what I was doing, picked up my little stack of prayers, and started going through them. Then I read some scripture. I don’t know how long I spent, but it was a welcomed respite. My laundry isn’t all done and my room isn’t all clean, but I felt like I was able to continue the day with some stress lifted from my soul.

I Found God today in some formal prayer time and a sense of His peace.
