Acts 6:4 Meaning But We Will Continue Steadfastly in Prayer

To give yourself continually to prayer is not to spend all day muttering requests. It is to stay rooted in inner stillness while your hands do their work, returning to presence again and again through the ordinary hours.

The self is always pulled outward by a thousand demands, each one insisting it is urgent. These few knew that if they lost their inner ground, their words would become empty noise. So they made stillness their first commitment and let their speaking flow out of it. When you stay anchored in the quiet depth within, whatever you then do and say carries something that busyness alone can never give it.
