In a world still reeling from a global pandemic, divisiveness, systemic hatred, violence, war, disorientation, uncertainty, change there is evidence that we are all suffering from trauma and sustained stress. Looking to the plant world as metaphor for the prayer relationship with God, "Spirit Prayers: Growing Faith Through Adversity" offers reflections on Scripture passages from the common lectionary. The growth theme reflects the authors own faith journey through this difficult time.
