If you read or watch the news, especially recently, you will likely learn of some very disturbing events. What is even more disturbing is that what you have read or viewed at any given moment may not reflect everything that has occurred or is occurring within the world. When viewing or reading certain news stories, and especially if hearing bad news repeatedly, it may appear as though evil is running rampant, but rest assured that good will always win.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, you may find that alone time spent in prayer and meditation has many benefits. You also may find yourself strengthened when you pray and/or worship with a team. As for me, regardless of whether my prayer and worship time is spent solo or not, I always feel rejuvenated afterwards.
