Prayers!

Hello!

I love to write prayers. Sounds a bit unusual, but I really love writing prayers about 'real' issues in life. 

I worked in a high school that had morning prayers every day. And I loved to create them, dealing with concerns and challenges that face teenagers. Through talking with young people and spending time with them, I learned what they were dreaming about, longing for and what problems they faced. My prayers would reflect their thoughts, always offering hope and peace. 

A few months back, I submitted several prayers to Novalis - a publisher of religious books in Canada. They were running a contest, looking for prayers for a new book they were creating. 

Well, today I found out my submission was accepted, for their new book. 

How exciting.  If I can help even one person through my writing, I am content. 

Just wanted to share my good news. 

Thanks for listening.
