"My soul is restless until it finds its rest in Thee." A river flows on, until it loses itself in the sea. Our spirits long for rest in the Spirit of God. We can yearn to realize a peace, a rest, a satisfaction that we have never found in the world or its pursuits. Some of us are not conscious of our need, and can shut the doors of our spirits against the Spirit of God. That makes it difficult for us to find true peace. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=.
