Prayer is the Place of Refuge

prayer.chrystostom

“Prayer is the place of refuge for every worry, a foundation for cheerfulness, a source of constant happiness, a protection against sadness.”
-St. John Chrysostom

 

For Reflection:
Am I worried, downhearted, unhappy or despondent? While there could be other reasons, is it possible that my emotional disposition is related to a lack of prayer? How have these words of St. John Chyrsostom proven true at other times in my life? What resolution does this lead me to make?
