Making Music to Melt the Stars

Some 51% of 18 to 34-year-olds polled in the United Kingdom said they pray at least once a month, compared with only 24% of those aged 55 and over. Mariyah Zaman, a 23-year-old Muslim from Cardiff, says she prays every day. “My faith is my stability. It's my grounding and my anchor in life."
“[Prayer] sometimes feels like trying to get bears to dance as we tap crude rhythms on a cracked kettle. Other times, it feels like we’re making music that will melt the stars.” - Gustave Flaubert, French novelist (edited; the original quote was, “Human speech sometimes feels….”)
Affirmative prayer: Today, I rest in the felt certainty that the Divine Something – call it God, the Universe, Higher Power, or Infinite Presence – is the changeless, unconditional essence of my life, of all life. Its love and strength are always at hand. My life is a prayer, and I am open to being inspired, guided, and to the joy of being alive. Thank you, God, forever, Amen.
