The Joy of Prayer

Feeling a deep sense of joy and gratitude after visiting the annual World Day of Prayer event on September 9th at Unity North Atlanta Church. The fellowship hall was transformed into a quiet, dimly lit haven with twinkling lights, tabletop fountains and themed alcoves that invited prayers for departed loved ones and pets, those affected by domestic violence, our youth, etc. The highlight for me is always walking the labyrinth in the center of the room. I was amused by my “monkey mind” wondering how long it would take and which way I would turn next until slowly it ceased chattering and I was at peace. Divine!
