And my heart rejoiced and with praises I prayed:  Great is Your faithfulness O God.  While the days are filled with turmoil and loss and births and deaths each day the earth is blessed with the rise and fall of the sun and moon.  Despite our preoccupation with our daily battle to better ourselves and avoid pain You remain constant and compassionate.   You bid us  come to You “all who are weary and heavy laden” and You will give us rest.  Show us how.  Show us how to come to You.  Show us how to receive Your rest.  Show us.

Then the Lord said “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”
