Beginning and ending our day in prayer and Union with our Lord-prepares us for the daily circumstances as well as settling us in for a restful, peaceful sleep! They are Love filled bookends from God that enable us to stay in collaboration with Him throughout our day and night! This habit is one that keeps us "sober and alert" to the wily and covert ways of Satan -who is always "prowling like a roaring lion waiting and watching" to tempt us to turn away from the God chosen path we are on! This practice gives meaning, grounding and direction to our day! Start the day and end the day in the Presence of our Lord as He Prepares the Way, Provides the Truth and Illuminates the Path! Love and prayers! ✝️
