"Pray without ceasing"
- 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (ESV)
There is a way of life so hid with Christ in God that in the midst of the day's business one is inwardly lifting brief prayers, short bursts of praise, subdued whispers of adoration and of tender love to the Beyond that is within. One can live in a well-nigh continuous state of unworded prayer, directed toward God, directed toward people and enterprises we have on our heart. There is no hurry about it at all; it is a life unspeakable and full of glory, an inner world of splendor within which we, unworthy, may live. Some of you know it and can live in it; others of you may wistfully long for it; it can be yours. Now out from such a holy Center come the commissions of life. Our fellowship with God issues in world concern. We cannot keep the love of God to ourselves.
