I pray God will fill you with the grace to understand how beloved you are and how beautifully he created you. That knowing how he made you, sees you, delights in you, and rescued you will carry you through life and all of its ups and downs. I pray you’ll remember the truth about your heart and your body, and as you do, that you’ll be thankful.

Sleep is an act of faith because we are actively accepting our humanity and putting at the foot of the cross all the aspects of life that cause us the greatest anxiety.

Rather than food leading to prayer and love, God’s love, with prayer, enables us to eat restoratively, day after day, meal after meal.
