You Deserve a Break Today

Monday Devotion

“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.”

Exodus 20:8

Nancy was married to a non-Christian for almost twenty-five years.  Though initially she tried to pray fervently and every day for her husband’s salvation, she eventually discovered that constant praying without a break was wearing her out.  Through trial and error, Nancy found that she simply couldn’t pray with equal fervor every day, but at various times, at the prompting of the Holy Spirit, she would enter renewed seasons of intercession—what she now calls her “seasons” of prayer.  At the end of one such season, her husband became a believer—more than two decades after they had exchanged their wedding vows.
