Persistence in Prayer
"St. Francis used to say: 'If you, O servant of God, are upset, for any reason whatever, you should immediately rise up to prayer, and you should remain in the presence of the Most High Father for as long as it takes for him to restore to you the joy of your salvation.'" --Celano, Second Life, 125
Capturing our negative thoughts and turning them into positive praise and thanksgiving to God can't help but restore our joy because that is where God resides.
