Am I doing it right? Am I doing it enough? Is there a correct way to pray?  Throughout my life and the lives of my family and friends, I’ve heard this conversation time and time again. There’s a narrative within some church walls and throughout society that to be considered a Christian, or spiritual, or even someone of faith, you have to pray in a specific...]]></description><link>https://www.choosecalm.com/post/how-to-pray</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a07bc8822114a9aa2a89c59</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 00:39:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/19d6fa_c6ee7ae025334404b46f076275dc21d7~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Meredith McNerney</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[God Is Not a Vending Machine, But He Invites Us to Collect Coins of Faith]]></title><description><![CDATA[More than ever, we live in a world of instant gratification.

I remember my daughter coming home from school when she was in third grade describing an experience with a classmate. During chorus practice, somewhere between breathy warm-ups and songs sung off key, a young boy proclaimed,  “God can’t be real. You can’t hear Him. You can’t see Him. You can’t physically feel Him. So, God isn’t real.” What prompted that boy to make such a claim at that moment is a mystery. As my daughter remembers it, she gently responded,...]]></description><link>https://www.choosecalm.com/post/why-do-i-feel-disconnected-from-god-sometimes</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69e572790c8d230c9e93b6bc</guid><pubDate>Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:27:22 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/19d6fa_30fbeeb7fb634e95adf4e09e7e4a0bda~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Meredith McNerney</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Want to slow down the aging process?
