Have you ever been in a place where you could not find the words to pray? Maybe you are in a season where you feel alone, unseen, or unheard.

Am I Loved | The Core: Questions that Drive Us Part 4

"Hello, can you hear me?" We often think of Adele’s lyrics as just a song about a breakup, but they actually reveal the deepest ache of the human heart.
