Of all the duties enjoined by Christianity none is more essential and yet more neglected than prayer.
It is not the multitude of hard duties, it is not the constraint and contention that advance us in our Christian course. On the contrary, it is the yielding of our wills without restriction and without choice to tread cheerfully every day in the path in which Providence leads us. It is to seek nothing, to be discouraged by nothing, to see our duty in the present moment, and to trust all else without reserve to the will and power of God.
Be content with doing calmly the little which depends upon yourself, and let all else be to you as if it were not.
I believe that we are conforming to the divine order and the will of Providence when we are doing even indifferent things that belong to our condition.
The great point is to renounce your own wisdom by simplicity of walk, and to be ready to give up the favor, esteem, and approbation of every one, whenever the path in which God leads you passes that way.
