Todays devotion is from “The Sayings of the Desert Fathers,” a compilation of sayings from the desert monks of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine in the fourth to sixth centuries.
What is pure prayer? Prayer which is brief in words but abundant in actions. For if your actions do not exceed your petitions, then your prayers are mere words, and the seed of the hands is not in them.
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. [Colossians 3:23-24]
