Prayers...

Praying can be lonely business.  While it may see that you are alone is your prayers, take heart, because you are not.  Angels play a role in your prayers as they hand-deliver your prayers - the hurried, the insincere, the greedy and mix them with the prayers of preachers, priests, monks, missionaries, children and they are purified with much heavenly incense. 
While this may sound strange to you, it encourages me to pray more as I picture my feeble prayers being mixed with all of the other prayers and those requests going to the very Throne of God.  Thankful...
