Thanks, my squirrelly friend.
I've been dealing with some stuff...the Lord saw fit to take another friend on the fifteenth of January, and I'm not dealing with it very well. I heard about it via email a week after it had happened, thus depriving me of the opportunity to pray her home, as I usually do in such situations. I'm finding it very hard to believe that there's any kind of Divine Being looking out for us right now, because I only heard from the friend who passed at the end of December, and three weeks later I get an email from her mother saying that her three-year battle with anorexia came to an end last Saturday. A month on, I'm finding it tricky to sleep, impossible to pray, and am essentially just about functioning.
Thanks so much for asking...means a lot.

Meditation helps us feel peace. When sorrow comes we feel peace. Peace is the presence of our soul. When we feel peace sorrow cannot engulf us. We watch it as an observer. When we allow the mind to use us, and consequently the emotions, we suffer. The more we meditate and feel the peace associated with meditation the less we suffer.
It is often easier to say then to do. Although it helps to remember; If we are peaceful we are manifesting the presence of God.
