February Issue: Unity Through Prayer

This month, we celebrate the love of the Lord as it is manifested in our lives through our privilege as His children to offer prayers to Him and to receive answers, strength, and blessings. Authors in this issue focus on the prayers we offer for our families and communities, and contemplate the uniting power of those prayers. We know, as women and mothers, that the power of prayer is available to us to help us nurture and bring peace and healing to those around us.
