Travel imparts new vigor to the mind

“Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind.” – Seneca

Seneca was a Roman philosopher and advisor to Nero. He's been around a while and it's nice to know this philosophy is not new. I so firmly believe it!

Results

I took my troubles to the Lord; I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.

Psalm 120:1, NLT |


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yesterday's entry was the promise that even if you don't know what to pray for, the Holy Spirit will intercede and today is the promise that if you pray, those prayers will be answered.

God is sooo good!!

When I don't know what to pray

I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!

Isaiah 65:24, NLT


(Today's Air 1 verse)

Combine that with this one:

We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

Romans 8:26

It just tells me that I can pray when I don't know what to pray for and there's a double promise: the Holy Spirit will intercede for me and turn my lack of words into prayers for the right thing and God is going to answer my prayer, even before I utter it. When a friend is in trouble or feeling pain, I feel so helpless and often times that helplessness comes down to not knowing how to help and not even knowing what to pray for. But it's okay. Just spending time with God and letting him know that friend is on my mind and thanking God for helping that friend is enough. Together, they will take care of it all. Praise God!
