While waiting for my receipt at the bank, I overheard the person assisting me tell her co-worker about her injured leg. When she returned with my receipt, she told me what had happened and described the excruciating pain. She said, “Please pray for me.” I responded, “Let’s pray right now.”...

An Anchor in the Storm

Joining friends at The Upper Room in morning prayer on Facebook Live has been an anchor in the storm during recent weeks. In the chaos of trying to figure out how to do ministry in strange and uncertain times, it was a compelling call to stop, breathe, listen, and be in community with those who gather "where the world meets to pray." Join us each day for morning prayer.
