Audio Guided Prayer: Continuous Improvement vs. Transformation
If you can, for a couple of minutes, close your eyes. Open your hands and pray this prayer with me. If you aren’t ready to pray it yourself, then I invite you to just listen to it with me and let the words sink into your heart and mind.
