Biblical Integration

Worms are often considered gross or disgusting, but they play a very important role, hidden in the earth, working diligently where no one can see. They aerate the soil and improve its structure, which is important for growing plants. Earthworms work in secret, but their work is necessary for healthy soil and healthy plants. In the same way, God invites us to do the secret, hidden work of prayer. He hears us. He sees us. He invites us to pray to Him, and He will answer.

In Christ Alone,

Trish
