Today’s meditation comes from The Book Second Chronicles in The Old Testament and from the writings of Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, with music by Matt Wigton.

Passage: “If people will humble themselves, pray, seek Me, and turn away from wickedness, I will hear from heaven, forgive them, and heal their land.” —2 Chronicles 7:14

Perspective: “Prayer is an act of humility, of connection. Reaching out to another and to God. If we stop praying, we sever that connection, give ourselves over to arrogance, and isolate ourselves.” —Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan

Music: “Interlude” by Matt Wigton

Narrator: Ryan Phipps
