About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of prayer and silence in daily life, regardless of one's beliefs, and offers guidance on how to incorporate these practices at home.
"Patch a few words together," writes Mary Oliver in her poem "Praying," "and don't try to make them elaborate. This isn't a contest, but the doorway into thanks." Listen to hear why prayer and silence matter, regardless of belief or disbelief, and how you can find what works for you in your home. See the full lesson: UpliftKids.org/lessons/prayer
