Rest

I found this a year or two ago while reading The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis.

"Most sweet and loving Jesus, grant me rest in you above every other creature; above all health and beauty, above all honor and glory, above all power and dignity, above all knowledge and wisdom, above all wealth and talent, above all joy and gladness, above all fame and praise, above all sweetness and consolation, above all hope and promise, above all merit and desire, above all the gifts and favors you shower and offer upon me, above all the happiness and joy the mind can perceive and understand, and finally, above all angels and archangels, above the entire host of heaven, above all things visible and invisible, above everything that is not you, My God."

May this be my prayer for each day, that I would find rest in Him, and Him alone.

"Seek ye first..."
