over1000prayers

Next week’s theme is “prayer.” Once again, I invite you to select one day of the year to write a prayer for a missing person and their families for over1000prayers. As time allows, I’ll be adding missing people both on their birthdays and on the day they went missing. Every day is difficult for families of missing people, but these two days are the hardest. 

If you don’t believe in prayer, specifically, even a few words of encouragement on that day can help. I don’t understand prayer, but I am learning more and more about it, especially since I asked for help on the Special Post earlier this week. Thank you to all who answered those questions! The request and project are indefinite.  And I will never publish your answers without permission.
