I was just thinking of what to do or where to keep the daily fruits of my reflections; my encounter with my God, when the thought of sharing with great friends like you come to my mind. As children of God we are called to share, to love, to care for one another, and to walk humbly with God. Though having prayed my written daily prayers over and over again, I still feel more closely united with my God each time I pray with. So, Instead of keeping them to myself, I ask myself why can I not share them with my friends. At first, I used to pray and would not care about writing my inspirations down but when I discovered that God truly and directly answered some of my prayers I decided to write them down since June 2020, and I would get back to some with thanksgiving updates whenever I receive a direct answer. My reflections and inspiration have always come from daily mediation texts sent to me by my Spiritual Director and some from the daily Mass Readings and other spiritual material like the life of saints and novenas. Not forgetting the Hallow Prayer App with its daily Lectio Divina and other prayers that I cherish so much. So dear friends, pray with me my daily prayers, for prayer is the key to any good life. Remember you will not go empty-handed for no prayer is small or goes unanswered. let’s continue with 11 Prayers more to uplift our intimacy with God. 13 faith-searching prayers to keep us closer to our God.
