After a speech, a woman named Susan tracked me down. She was battling Stage 4 cancer and wanted to share how my message had lifted her spirits.

I said, “I will pray for you. Actually, would you like to pray right now?”

She turned and told all the people around us: “We are going to pray. You can join us if you want.”

Moments later, surrounded by new friends, I prayed for Susan. I prayed for her healing and for the healing of the world. I prayed for strength, hope, and peace.

When I finished, we were all crying. I felt grace and light everywhere. And each person got a hug.

Dear friends, we need each other. We are built for connection and community, and life is better when we walk together.

I’m committed to being ready for these opportunities and keeping my heart open to engage them fully. I hope you will continue to join me.
