Emptiness under Heaven

"The soul that thus prays indeed, sees an emptiness in all things under heaven; that in God alone there is rest and satisfaction for the soul." -John Bunyan

 

This makes me realize that much of the problem in my payer life is an attachment to the things of this world.  The more "of this world" I am, the more I become self dependent instead of dependent on God.  True prayer is completely dependent on God and hopeful for heaven, and not putting hope in the world we live in now.  It is in God alone where our souls will be satisfied.  Sounds impossible to do, but with prayer it can happen.
