When I least expected it, the sudden deployment of the parachute
brought intense relief and immense silence.
There, suspended thousands of feet in the air,
life stopped and peace entered my soul.
Today, we talk about the deployment of the parachute of prayer.
Para meaning, “to protect or shield,” and chute meaning, “to fall.”
Prayer shields and protects us from
the freefall of disorienting circumstances.
