A Prayer for When Praying is Hard

Sometimes, praying feels hard to reach for. Maybe this is where you find yourself today or a feeling you often have. Perhaps your silence contains your prayers, or all you can manage to utter is a single sentence. This week, we offer a simple breath prayer and another short prayer asking the One who is with us to help us communicate love and compassion to those around us.
