We’ve all been there: a sleepless night, tangled in worry, wondering if the chaos in our hearts or the world around us will ever settle. You’re not alone if you’ve ever found yourself desperately trying to find a glimmer of hope in a world that’s making less and less sense. You’re not alone if you’ve ever felt an overwhelming loneliness and disconnection from yourself and others. 

Our mind likes to wander in all sorts of places, and with today’s constant flow of free information, it’s easy to get anxious and lose sight of the simple joys of life. In such a context, peace feels elusive, doesn’t it? The truth is, it’s not.

But in this article, we’ll focus on exploring the collection of ideas and practices centered on prayer that have been passed down, reshaped, and experienced through the centuries. We’ll navigate how prayer can ground us, guide us, and offer peace during life’s storms.
