Prayer

"Pray. So much wisdom in that one word." – Ayann Hirsi Ali

Been profoundly moved by these words of Ayaan Hirsi Ali speaking at a recent open conversation with Richard Dawkins.

The now former leading light in New Atheism, says ultimately, giving prayer a go was the one thing able to shift her from her long-held career-making philosophical position.

For many years, the Somalian-born intellectual, along with Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris had mocked Christians for their 'simple beliefs'. But to believe in nothing was no longer working for her. Nothing was not enough. Something was needed.

Out of desperation, she discovered prayer began to make sense of everything. It also revealed Jesus to her. An extraordinary testimony. At so many levels.
