DAY SEVENTY TWO

LIVING YOUR DAY AS A PRAYER

  Say to yourself,  " I live and move and have my being, in all inner thought and outer expressions, in the wealth of God every moment."   And say this when you least feel the truth of it and keep on saying it.
  And to the above statement add these words as you go forth to meet life, "With the peace of God in my heart and with good will toward my fellow men, I am ready for the work day."  And you will be ready for the work of the day!
  Then when you lie down to sleep say to yourself again, "Today I have lived and moved and have had my being in God, and while I sleep I still  live and have my being in Him.  He will guide and purify my dreams and in the morning I shall be further along."
  "Those who have the gales of the Spirit are carried forward even in sleep," says Brother Lawrence.
