Daily grace

Busyness often seems to be our business today. Yet to make sure that the really vital things get done we need to make room for prayer.

Beverly P. Kendall

As a plant requires nourishment and rest before it can again blossom in a wave of color, so we need our spiritual nourishment, "our daily bread," to sustain our ability to give. Such need is met through quiet and private communion with God. If our inclination is to rush about continuously and do things—anything—it is sometimes necessary to curb this impulse so that our works rest upon a solid spiritual foundation, a foundation established in prayer rather than simply on the human desire to fill our lives with busyness.

Like a plant that must have nourishment before it can bloom again, we too must have spiritual food.
