a hug

It was thursday night and everyone was listening to annabelle who said “earlier tonight i asked carmen to pray for me. and i dont know how to describe it. it was like a warm blanket was on me. i felt a hug from god. carmen was praying for comfort and that god would let me know he was there.”
The rest of the night was spent praying for each other. We put a chair in the middle of a circle of teens, all in different places in their spiritual walk, and these teens surrounded each other, placed hands on each other, and prayed. It was a beautiful scene.
