Our God keeps us in harmony
yes...I have a prayer from my Message Devotional Bible... it makes me think...'don't forget the rests'

Dear Lord,
Help me to realise that there is a reason
Why you structured the universe the way you did.
There are natural rhythms that I must not only acknowledge but also enter into.
There are musical rests that are necessary if the music is to have resonance.
Help me to see that when my life is all work and no rest,
I'm violating the very music at the heart of the universe,
putting my life out of harmony with yours,
Give me grace in this area, Lord.

That is such good advice. Thanks for passing it on!

My testimony is that after the death of my wonderful son, at 43 years from cancer, this forum was a life line from God. I had joined Christian forums and the prayers of the Christians here carried me through this terrible time.

Thank you to the Lord for leading me here,
