Restless

 To be restless is an invitation to prayer.  It is a signal feeling.  It demands the discipline of turning inward in some way.  Evil is on the outside, that is, we have not yet done any stupid action in response to this restless feeling.  The outsides are trying to tell the insides what to do and this is not good.  The need for discipline is because the heart is not so noisy as to shout out, “Pay attention!”  That would come after we have done something stupid, like get drunk or spend money we don’t have, or enter a relationship that is not good for us.  Being uncomfortable in this restlessness is just part of life.  The quote, “Be still and know that I am God.”  Or “Accept the things I cannot change and change the things I can.”
