There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;
for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from his own
work, just as God did from His. Hebrews 4:9-10
Praying for others can only flow from a heart at rest about itself and knowing in itself the value of the desires which it expresses for another. I could not be truly happy praying otherwise. (J. Butler Stoney)
PRAY ABOUT IT: Is your heart restless? So often our prayers can become the chattering of an insecure religious
pretender. True prayer comes from a heart at rest, sure of itself and even more sure of the object of its prayer.
Happiness in prayer comes from certainty. A restless heart is an uncertain heart. Today, anchor your prayers in God. Quiet your heart and be still before your Father.
O God, make us children of quietness and heirs of peace.
(Clement of Alexandria)
