What if two simple prayer practices could quiet your mind, slow your life down, and draw you closer to God in the middle of an ordinary day?

In this episode of Spirituality on the Go, I sit down with Dr. Donna Chacko, physician, author, and founder of the ministry Serenity and Health. Donna shares her remarkable journey from a busy, burnout-prone life to discovering the transformative power of centering prayer and what she calls the "on the go" prayer. 

We talk about what it looks like to surrender your time to God, how a simple sacred phrase can interrupt anxiety and bring you back to the present moment, and why even five minutes of quiet can begin to change everything.

If you've ever felt too busy to pray, this conversation is for you.
