Wisdom from my Mom

Prayer When Things are Hard
Every person you see has a collection of their own life’s stories, and every person you see has a few that would likely break your heart. We deserve each other’s respect simply because we’ve survived all we have and kept going anyway.
Remember this when things are hard.
Remember how someone you knew got through a really difficult time and know that you can as well.
Remember that you are not alone in this world, even when you feel sad, scared or lonely.
Even if you cannot tell a person what is heavy on your heart, tell the universe.
In the still awakening of the early dawn or gentle slowing of the settling dusk; in the hustle and bustle your busy day or deep in the silence of night, we are all embraced by the energy of something bigger than ourselves.
Trust the universe. Its love finds us and holds us, even when we are uncertain and afraid.
