Thoughts and prayers

If you are like me, your mind is constantly racing.

Going, going, going.

We analyze, reflect, daydream or just flat out dream.

There is not a moment in the day (or night) when we are not thinking.

To use a biblical word, we are thinking in an "unceasing" manner.

And again, if you are like me, you just wish you could get your mind to slow down for one minute - it would save me from all of the worries, guilt feelings and fears of the world.

You see, that which is our greatest gift - the ability to think and reason - can be the source of our greatest pain. 

So what do you and I do?

Well, I would suggest that you (and I) turn our unceasing thoughts to unceasing prayers.  Turn that inner monologue into a continuing dialogue with God.

And peace will come, and joy, and happiness. 

In other words, we are to pray without ceasing.

Just a thought for a Wednesday.
