Having that regular connection every day for a year really got me ready for Covid. You can be more steady when you pray regularly. You are not doing it yourself. I am protected, I am carried, and having that feeling is something I need to connect with a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEvery morning when I get up it is the first thing that I do.

It is not just a religious story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prayer is an essential part of Laura&#8217;s creative process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI will say a prayer before I start painting and ask that the image comes out the way it is supposed to,\u201d Laura shares. \u201cI follow the Scripture text when I paint. I am not revising the text of the Bible, and I am not putting any spin on it. It is important that people are affected by the imagery. That is what I want, and it is for everyone. There are many people who appreciate the art and say they have nothing to do with religion. It can be universally appreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"737\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Laura-2-Just-As-We-Are-One-737x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Laura-2-Just-As-We-Are-One-737x1024.jpeg 737w, https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Laura-2-Just-As-We-Are-One-216x300.jpeg 216w, https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Laura-2-Just-As-We-Are-One-768x1067.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Laura-2-Just-As-We-Are-One-1106x1536.jpeg 1106w, https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Laura-2-Just-As-We-Are-One-1474x2048.jpeg 1474w, https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Laura-2-Just-As-We-Are-One-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/passionist.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Laura-2-Just-As-We-Are-One.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Just As We Are One \u00a9Laura James, 2000.

It happened several times, and this is a new thing. My brush is doing something different, and I said, \u2018Thank you very much.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learning to Be Still<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God often surprises Laura by answering her prayers with peace rather than immediate solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMany times, prayer has guided me to say, \u2018Stop thinking about this. Do something else because this is going to be OK,\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cIt happens more and more now, that the \u2018problem\u2019 is answered by being still and going out into nature, rather than with the elaborate \u2018solutions\u2019 I conjure up. After feeling anxiety about something, it is still a bit amazing that the message from a prayerful meditation is to relax and trust that things are OK. That is not always an easy thing to do.
