Bounds: the refreshed heart

Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709
Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845
Meditation:
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
—2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV)

Quotation:
Prayer freshens the heart of the preacher, keeps it in tune with God and in sympathy with the people, lifts his ministry out of the chilly air of a profession, fructifies routine and moves every wheel with the facility and power of a divine unction.
... E. M. Bounds (1835-1913), Preacher and Prayer, Publishing House of the M. E. Church, South, Dallas, Tex., 1907, p. 28 (see the book)
See also 2 Tim. 2:15; 1 Cor. 1:22-23; Phil. 1:9-10; Col. 4:2-4; 2 Tim. 4:2

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, I lift up those who minister to me, that they might always seek You in prayer.
