[The Lord] covers the heavens with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, makes grass grow on the hills. - Psalm 147:8 (NRSV)

Today's Prayer
Thank you, God, for this amazing world you have created. Help us to recognize all the ways you are present with us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The RESILIENCE conference in 2021 was so uplifting and nourishing. It was wonderful to be with other Christians around the world at this retreat, who truly care about responding to trauma in a compassionate way by teaching spiritual practices to help with grounding and healing.”

Join us for the next RESILIENCE conference on September 29-30, 2023. Learn more at UpperRoom.org/resilience.
