This year, Reflections – Take A Minute becomes more personal. I’m sharing Qur’anic verses that have carried me — especially in moments when life felt like a test I didn’t study for.

In this reflection, I sit with the reality that being tested is part of the human journey. Fear. Loss. Uncertainty. Waiting. These seasons can make us feel forgotten, but this verse reminds me that tests are not abandonment. They are part of the path. And within them, there is growth, patience, and unseen reward.

Qur’anic Reflection:
Qur’an 2:155

Take a minute today to remember: being tested does not mean being left behind.
