🙏 I read this prayer in a YouTube comment

Hi Reader, A real quick email, sharing a short prayer and a link to a few no-cost ebooks. A few days ago, I was watching a worship song video on YouTube by the Dwelling Place Church. I scrolled down on the page and saw this comment under the video: If you can't see the image, it says: "To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen." What a beautiful prayer, and written by someone who may know of the same kinds of difficulties mentioned in it: stress, dark thoughts, overthinking, confusion. Indeed, may peace and calm and clarity fill your life.
My 7-day devotional is included in a month-long giveaway with other ebooks. It's normally free anyway, but this is a way for authors to come together and share each other's work. Maybe there's something on the page that will interest you. May you have a meaningful Good Friday and a joyful Easter. Thanks for being part of my reader community.

Hi Reader, I recently returned from a solo retreat where I got away to complete a few things. On the first day, I noticed this dog resting on a couch in the lobby of the hotel. (It's common to see cats inside hotels in Turkey, but not dogs.) I spoke to the dog and sent a picture to my wife, saying I wanted to learn something from this dog about rest. It was probably just bored, but it seemed to enjoy resting. It spent time having rest. It rested regularly. I applied what the dog was somehow...
Hi Reader, My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Egypt. One afternoon, we walked through neighborhoods to find local shops and markets - something we enjoy exploring. On the way, I had to go to the bathroom so badly that I held my stomach, hunched over slightly, and walked like an elderly person. Finally, we stopped at a restaurant to use their bathroom, and ordered something light. Thankfully, they had a "western toilet" rather than a squat toilet that looks something like this:...
Hi Reader, This past Monday, my wife and I walked to my favorite place to eat fruit. I was glad they still had their Christmas decorations up. (Actually, here in Turkey, they're New Year's decorations.) It's a fun waffle restaurant, with huge plastic strawberries hanging from the ceiling, and pictures on the walls of the owner with famous people. There's even a chocolate waterfall. Here in Turkey, waffles aren't eaten with maple syrup for breakfast. They're covered in chocolate and fruit (and...
