I have never associated prayer with rest, but for Lanie Ehlinger, it is a key component of her Sabbath practice. And it's not just prayer for herself; Lanie's prayer time focuses mainly on others. Until our conversation, I hadn't even considered that interceding on behalf of another could bring a rest and refueling for the everyday, but this conversation with Lanie gave me another perspective regarding prayer and the Sabbath. I hope it does the same for you.
