Daily Thoughts - Make God Known.
Pray. Gird your loins speaks to me this morning and to be vigilante. We are living in very tumultuous times and the only thing that brings us consolation is prayer. Sitting with God and visiting like one would visit with a dear friend. This is prayer, this is girding one's loins, for it is Christ that prepares us for the day.
An indelible spiritual mark . . .
1272 Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, the person baptized is configured to Christ. Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation.83 Given once for all, Baptism cannot be repeated.

When one is attentive to one's spirit, then one is being vigilante. You are not being lead around with passing whims but by the spirit of God. Look into the world, the storm is brewing and it can bring about fear: "For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control." 2 Timothy 1:7. This is what happens within prayer if we become consistent and intentional.
How do we expect to hear God if we don't speak to Him? Pray with purpose and ask.
Dear Father God, it is good we are here, the coffee is good and the conversation is great. There is not a care that You are not working on. I am thankful for the insights that are given along with a sense of peace. You also speak of action in doing what needs to be done. Prayers for a child in need of prayer this morning and their parents to be at ease, may their habit of prayer continue after the storm passes. Bless this day Lord and use me as You see fit. Love Your son.
Mary, Queen of Peace, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
