One of the greatest gifts that comes from a regular routine of prayer is the ability that we discover: while we are at prayer, we can rest in the presence of the Lord. This rest is meant to refresh our hearts and our souls and to give us the spiritual energy we need in order to be faithful disciples.
When we are able to rest in the presence of the Lord, we begin to grow in trust because we discover the truth that the name of the Lord is the deepest desire of our souls (Is 26:8). Prayer is nothing more than resting in the presence of the Lord, opening our hearts and our souls to be present to Him and to allow Him to be present to us.
Especially during these days when the regular routine of our lives has relaxed a bit, it might be worthwhile to pray for the grace to discover the great gift of being in the presence of our God, not worried about the words we speak, but rather merely being present and basking in the presence of Him who feeds our souls with special food.
Have a great day.
