Prayer is often thought of as something distant, lofty, or formal. But in truth, as Richard Foster reminds us, countless people pray far more than they know. Prayer weaves through ordinary life—in laughter, conversations, work, play, and love. As Henri Nouwen put it so simply: to pray is to live.

May you come to see that you are praying all the time when you notice the presence of God in the everyday.

And may we all become a people of prayer—finding the sacred in each moment, wherever we are.
