The First and Last Thing You Should Do Everyday to Grow Closer to Jesus (feat. Sr. Mary Grace, SV)

The first part of the day-when you wake up-and the last part your day-when you go to bed-are undoubtedly the most difficult parts of your day. Worries and anxieties peak. Temptations are heightened. We're completely aware of our physical needs for food, drink, and sleep.
What if you could not only find more peace during those times, but even completely transform those times into fruitful times with Jesus?
Today, Sr. Mary Grace of the Sisters of Life gives us 3 tips for these difficult times of the day that could make them the most important times of your day.

Thank you Sister for taking the time to share your faith with all of us.

[@mariancavadias7966]

I use the reminder app to set up my morning prayers. When I pick up my phone in the morning it reminds me to pray and I add links to the prayers I want to say that morning. Or remind me of the people I want to pray for. It also helps me to stay on track when I say a Novena. This tool has really helped me to deepen my prayer life.

[@hobertlee7598]

[@ChildofGod98765]

Heavenly Father, only you know the burdens I face. As a single mom I’m struggling to make ends meet. Lord give me strength to get through each day. Both of my sons are special needs and require much from me. It’s difficult to raise children alone. BUT I keep faith Lord Jesus. Even as I struggle to pay rent and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. I’m so ashamed. Jesus deliver me from my anxieties, and my troubles. Heal me from my lupus and heart disease. Help me to find strength when I am weak, And hope when I am afraid. Amen. 😢

[@matthewpoerschmann7464]

Bless you ❤

Thank you sister... Best Wishes

[@ObsessiveFanNumber1]

I had an absolutely horrible morning today. I couldn't stop crying at every little thing. I reached out to friends, and their love and support just made me cry more. Finally, I had to say, "Jesus Christ, please get me through this morning." And He did. This really feels like the video I need today. Thank you, Sister.

[@MaryKane-qv5vz]

The Novena of Surrender is very powerful. O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything.

Thank you for this powerful message! Each morning I start it with a prayer with my kids, but I have never said that prayer with our vocations in mind! I will implement that for myself and my kids…it’s a great way to attempt to start the day with a positive mind!

[@michaeljacobs3418]

What a wholesome wonderful person.

[@Camalonious]

I'd like to try this during Lent this year. No tech / social media for the first and last hour, and to be with Him especially during a time that reflects Jesus' time in the desert.

[@ballet1971]

Thank you..."don't run...be with Jesus"...this spoke volumes to me tonight...thank you.

The Surrender Novena just before bed is a wonderful antidote to worry and depression. Thank you, Sister, for standing for Life in all its phases. Let’s elect leaders who do the same. God bless you and your order. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@elib3elib3]

First and last hour of our day No: social media Surrender Choose your vocation All for Jesus! Got it, gonna do it! ( with Gods grace ❤)

[@johns1834]

Great message. We love Sr Mary Grace. I was episcopalian and was deceived for many years by that church which teaches sin is okay by the women ministers who don't believe the Bible is entirely true, but we finally let God in and saw the lies of the anglican church and are 'Going Home to Rome'.

[@erinsnook8537]

Just remember they are still your neighbors. Also, maybe chat with your priest or RCIA team about understanding the Bible from a Catholic lens.

[@johns1834]

@@erinsnook8537 Thanks for the message. I already did that and have recently been received into the Catholic Church and for the first time in a long time - "Feel Brand New". Thanks Be to God.

[@lorettajohns3542]

Thank you Sister for the beautiful instruction

[@williamwhite2113]

Sr. Mary Grace makes an excellent point about letting go and letting God. I have said silent prayers when I eat or when I wake up and at the end of my day. I know as long as God is there, things will work out.

"Give God permission." That's the key. Thank you, Sister.

[@AlexanderBrown77]

Revelation 20 kJV 1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. Revelation 20 kJV 7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 1 Corinthians 15 kJV 1-4 1 Peter 1 kJV 🩸 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

The wonderful verse came into mind 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. A daily prayer request must be wisdom so we don't fall prey to the d evil.who seeks to devour us 1 Pet5:8 ..with false doctrines, idol worship (Lev 26:1) changing the time and God's law and etc A prayer for wisdom is a promised answered prayer James 1:5. Amen

Open the door to His knocking, listen to His still small voice ❤

[@user-ix2ot5qk9j]

I suppose his voice is so small I´ve never heard it no matter how silent and attentive I´ve been.
