Why we LISTEN?

“Listen. People start to heal the moment they feel heard.” - Cheryl Richardson

“...let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak…” - James 1:19

“Truly listening, and with care, is one of the simplest and most kind gifts we can give anyone.” - John Bruna

Why we Pray?

In every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:6-7

“Rich is the person who has a praying friend.” - Janice Hughes

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2
