“We do not know what we need! We do not know how to pray for the things we need. In fact, we do not know how to pray. Ah, but the Spirit who lives inside us knows what and how to pray. The One to whom you have given yourself knows everything!
If the Spirit is fully able to care for all you need, why should you burden yourself with unnecessary cares? Why weary yourself with so much activity, never stopping to enter the rest of God.
The Lord invites you to cast all your cares on Him. The Lord–who is full of mercy–once complained that the soul wastes its strength and its treasures on a thousand outward things. Yet all the desires of the soul can easily be satisfied.”
Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Isaiah 55:2
