Peaceful Prayer

I will try first to rid myself of all uneasiness and unrest, then ask the Lord in quiet confidence, with my heart at ease.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ~ Philippians 4:6

"God wishes to be seen, and He wishes to be sought, and He wishes to be expected, and He wishes to be trusted." ~ Julian of Norwich

  1. Good morning Eileen, I thought these two quotes fit your "Seeding For The Soul" posts so well.

    Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

    The root of all difficulties is a lack of the sense of the Presence of God. ~ Emmett Fox

  2. Wanda, you are a font of perfect quotes for every situation!
    I love both of these but the Emmett Fox one is especially speaking to my heart today with the problem we are having with Jayden and school! I'm feeling so anxious for him, it's tough sending him out in tears (no breakfast! He doesn't eat lunch either, comes home with a full lunchbox!), and I just have to remember that the Presence of God is in the midst of us and with him all day.
    Thanks, Wanda!

  3. The quote by Blessed Julian of Norwich is very good. And this only one short week after my granddaughter was confirmed in the name of Blessed Julian. Thank you! Cathy
