True prayer is done in secret but this does not rule out the fellowship of prayer altogether however clearly we may be aware of its dangers. In the last resort it is immaterial whether we pray in the open street or in the secrecy of our chambers whether briefly or lenghtily in the Litany of the Church or with the sigh of one who knows not what he should pray for. True prayer does not depend either on the individual or the whole body of the faithful but solely upon the knowledge that our Heavenly Father knows our needs.

Lord make me less like Jonah and more like Jesus. Save me from being the kind of person who cares more about my comfort my reputation and my success than I do about the people You are calling me to serve. Help me to keep all of my dreams on Your altar and be ready at all times to respond with faith and obedience to Your call.

This magical universe is so faithful in waiting for us to get out of our own way. No matter how long you have gone astray when you take action the universe moves to support the act. Move in the direction of your goals and watch the magic flow.

God always keeps His promises.

My wish before I die to keep the faith.
