The great, good God looked down and smiled and counted each His loving child, for monk and Brahmin, Turk and Jew, loved Him through the gods they knew.

~Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Sharing with another human being is called communication. Sharing with God is called prayer. There are different manners of praying, different times of praying, and different names used for the Higher Power. We don't all need to pray the same way - but we all need prayer.

Prayer works. An endless river of examples flows through our meetings and reflects that truth: Prayer works. At a tense time, a fearful time, a hard or a confused time, a time of celebration or thanksgiving - someone prayed. God was sought, the mental and spiritual doors were opened with a simple, "Help me; be with me," and that presence was there.

As feeble and hesitant as our efforts at conscious contact may be, God will bring the party to us if we only invite Him.

Today's reading is from the book Days of Healing, Days of Joy: Daily Meditations for Adult Children*
