Rest in the Lord. Be still. So often, we don't feel this is “productive.” Oh, but it is. I like the idea of prayer nap. I like the sleeping in nap on Saturday to hear God's voice in thoughts or dreams. And my Sunday afternoon nap is a must. Thanks for the post.

We all need to be reminded that we don't have to be so doing-ey, but should settle into the arms of God and enjoy peace, love and rest. Thanks for reminding!
