In this critical juncture, a call echoes—Now is the time to pray more than ever. There exists a season for everything, and in these moments of uncertainty, the power of collective prayer becomes our beacon against the impending shadows.

It's never too late to embrace the innate humanity bestowed upon us and to find hope by opening our eyes to a better way.
