I actually hear into life - seeing everything that's occurring as a conversation with God in some form.

This will build your personal relationship with Him. Then, going to salah will be like coming home to an old friend.
You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion.

Choose now to know yourself as these things always.

Today, let's all increase love's wattage!
