Staying Fresh
By Paul Mallard

Stress
By Simon Vibert

We long for control, but cannot attain it. We aim for perfection, but it keeps eluding us. We want to be productive and creative, but if we’re honest, we spend too much time on unfocused, mind-numbing activity.

Sometimes we dismiss the feeling as a stray thought about friends, families, or situations. Sometimes we are even awakened from a deep sleep with an even deeper need to go to God in prayer. Where do those urges come from? Are they truly from God? And do those prayers have any effect on the one we’re praying for?   (more…)
