## Resource

Kathy Branzell, President of the National Day of Prayer says: there's the idea that when I work, I work, but when I pray, God works . So how about YOU? Are you working, when you should be praying ? Are you starting work first, before you pray? Are you taking God's place for the results by over-working ? There's a beautiful balance we can obtain between work and prayer. We can choose to pray first, then work. And then pray, staying in constant contact with the Lord to guide and direct our work, vs. all that extra- efforting stuff. Psalm 127 says: It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones." We challenge you today, to incorporate prayer INTO your work, and trust God for the results and experience a little of His rest.
