The descent to my apartments seemed never-ending. One foot slowly in front of the other, tranquil and lethargic. A sense of urgency longs them to move faster, to be productive. My mind protests. Eyes watering slowly at first, I feel a little numb. There is nothing specific that I yearn for... in fact, I couldn't tell you why I feel the way I do. I change my clothes to exercise and before I start the words to a favorite song come into my mind: "Ere you left your room this morning, did you think to pray? In the name of Christ your Savior, did you seek for loving favor as a child today? Oh how praying rests the weary." I fall to the floor and have a good long conversation with my savior.
I know that God is there listening to me. I know that my Savior Jesus Christ is always ready to save. Prayer is the only reason I have this assurance and I glory in it.
