"Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I
will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am
gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light."  ~Matthew 11:28

We can rest now until life, eternal life, flowing through our veins and
heart and mind, bids us to bestir ourselves.  Then glad work can follow.
Tired work is never effective.  The strength of God's spirit is always
available to the tired mind and body.  God is our physician and our healer.
We can look to these quiet times of communion with God for rest, for peace,
for cure.  Then we can rise, refreshed in spirit and go out to work, knowing
that our strength is able to meet any problems because it is reinforced by
God's power.

.=: P R A Y E R   F O R   T H E   D A Y  :=.

I pray that the peace I have found will make me effective.  I pray that I
may be relieved of all strain during this day.
