Inspired by lyrics to “When I Pray” by Daniel Nahmod:
“When I pray, I feel my heart go deeper, my heart go deeper into my God . . . .
When I pray, I feel my soul go deeper, my soul go deeper into my God . . . .
When I pray, I feel my love go deeper, my love go deeper into my God.
Right here, right now, right where I am, I pray. Right here, right now, right where I am, I pray.”
