World Heart Day

Reflection

“The importance of heart health became very real for me when my father died of heart disease seven years ago. Having experienced the loss firsthand, I am inspired to do everything I can to break the cycle and prevent families from losing loved ones to this preventable disease.” ~ Monica Potter

Prayer

Loving Lord,

Today, we celebrate World Heart Day. Keep us dedicated to promoting lifestyles that affirm the value of a healthy heart. Open our minds to the wisdom of the healthcare community regarding heart health. And, as we express gratitude for developments in heart health, we remember those who have died and their families. May their memory move us to lead heart healthy lives and support research and study that can save lives now and in the future. Amen.
