Open your Heart to our key Scripture.
Psalm 91:1–4: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and the deadly pestilence; he will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
Open your Bible to other Scriptures referenced in this episode.
Sirach 51:2: You have been my protector and helper, and have delivered my body from destruction, and from the snare of a slanderous tongue, from lips that utter lies.
Deuteronomy 32:10–12: He found him in a desert land, and in the howling waste of the wilderness; he encircled him, he cared for him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that flutters over its young, spreading out its wings, catching them, bearing them on its pinions, the Lord alone did lead him.
Ecclesiasticus 51:31: Draw near to me, ye unlearned, and gather yourselves into the house of discipline. (Douay-Rheims)
Psalm 5:3: O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I plead my case for you and watch.
Psalm 143:8: Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning, for in thee I put my trust.
Invite Him in with this episode’s questions for reflection.
St. Josemaría Escrivá said, “Conquer yourself each day from the very first moment, getting up on the dot, at a fixed time, without yielding a single minute to laziness. If, with God's help, you conquer yourself, you will be well ahead for the rest of the day. It's so discouraging to find oneself beaten at the first skirmish...
“The heroic minute. It is the time fixed for getting up. Without hesitation: a supernatural reflection and… up! The heroic minute: here you have a mortification that strengthens your will and does no harm to your body.”
What lie plays in your mind that says this is impossible for you to do? What could you change in your nighttime routine in order to faithfully give God the first part of your day?
