The moments may be brief, but they exist. In community. In prayers. In phone calls and letters. In wisdom. In pockets of peace. Our prayers shift things. Our presence shifts things. When it would be easier to stay with our noses pointed down at our phones, our showing up shifts things. And, even amid our distractions, we can invite God’s presence to surround us. We can ask him to meet us in the ordinary, in the chaos.
