Prayer Helps: Francois Fenelon On The Life of Prayer

Let us not be content to pray morning and evening, but let us live in prayer all day long. Let this prayer, this life of love, which means death to self, spread out from our seasons of prayer, as from a centre, over all that we have to do. All should become prayer, that is, a loving consciousness of God's presence, whether it be social intercourse or business. Such a course as this will ensure you a profound peace.


WHY THIS SPEAKS TO ME:

Father, more and more, help me to get away from the concept that I go to You just to get something, however legitimate my need may be. Rather, help me to see that what You want is for us two to relax in each other's never-ending company, fellowshipping with each other as Friend with friend, in this life and the next while you effortlessly take care of all of my needs.
