Thanks to Roy Petitfils for sharing this with me yesterday.
Prayer: the Soul’s Residence
Abraham Joshua Heschel
“Prayer is not a stratagem for occasional use, a refuge to resort to now and then. It is rather like an established residence for the innermost self. All things have a home: the bird has a nest, the fox has a hole, the bee has a hive. A soul without prayer is a soul without a home.”

Have we found our home in prayer?
What do we need to do in order to create that home within us?
