Can You Pray Amid Chaos?

Paul Says, “Yes”

‘A’ had asked Paul to pray for her recently and it was possible to find somewhere to sit down and do that in Piccadilly. The next time Paul saw ‘A’ it was in Piccadilly Gardens which at the time was quite chaotic. Nevertheless ‘A’ insisted that Paul pray with her again. It was noisy and there were many distractions, such as the police checking to see if anyone was hiding alcoholic drinks, but the prayer was said. A's situation has been very complicated and praying in these situations feels like creating a small oasis in a big desert.
