  “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

Prayer:      Lord, take my burdens and give me rest.

When you hear him, or sense his prompting or gentle nudge, act on it. Don’t hesitate, do what he wants you to do. If you do this consistently, the Spirit will become your intimate friend and he will make something beautiful out of your life.       Pope Joh...
