M'Cheyne: praying at a distance

Tuesday, July 23, 2019
    Commemoration of Bridget of Sweden, Abbess of Vadstena, 1373
Meditation:
    Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
    —John 14:19-20 (NIV)
Quotation:
    If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.
