But it is very good if you do a little prayer rule. I know this myself: if I get up and do a little of my rule, it seems as if I am a different man all day long. But if you get up in the morning and you whirl around the house – because you have this and that to do – then your whole day goes poorly. So do a little of your prayer rule every day, like the righteous Job, who offered sacrifice every day for his children in case they had sinned in their thoughts.

Beautiful words of wisdom. I have a short list for prayer for each day of the week. It's good to know that each week, I will pray for a certain group at least once. Morning time in the Bible and prayer sets my mind for the day.
So very true. A little prayer rule. I like that.
I do morning prayers in the car when I'm driving the boys to school. It's a good way to start the day--to feel connected to God and to remember what I'm thankful for and what I hope the day will bring.

This is so true, and one of the sweetest things I've read in a long time. Just tiny bites...thanks so much for sharing.
Since I began reading the Pilgrim book (in the pile, can't think of the title), I've enjoyed the Elders.
Many, many thanks.
That is truly lovely.
"Each one does what he can...like the bee..." I appreciate this.
