On Prayer …

I’m reading Bryan Chapell’s book, Praying Backwards, so I’m thinking a lot about prayer these days.

How (rightfully) ashamed I am by my all-too-frequent bouts of prayerlessness. And yet how comforted I am by the patience and kindness of God.

Two lines from a recent Andree Seu article, This Body of Death, has also stuck with me:

“Remember too, even the friends who like you best spend no more than five minutes a day thinking of you. God thinks of you all the time; talk to Him.”

Thank you, Mrs. Seu, for the wonderful reminder!

And thank You, God, for calling us all to pray.

“Our hearts are restless until they find their rest in You.” (St Augustine)
