Every night in bed before I go to sleep, I have an half hour rosary on my iPod. It is the one linked in my signature. I sleep soundly no matter how good or bad the day was.
 
Holy Mass… without doubt, going to Mass everyday is the only thing that keeps me going.
 
Prayer, Sacred Scripture and going about the day with Jesus in all I do at work, family, friends & strangers etc.

In the Living Prayer of my life

Is there a prayer, or practice, or thought, or meditation, or “whatever” that you do every day because it helps you get through the day? It helps you spiritually, redirects you to God, pulls you out of a slump or reminds you of your every day purpose?

There is for me the thought that God gave His only son for my sins, He alone atones for me no other can do this. Therefore I have found “true love” in Jesus Christ for He alone has shown me what no other can do for me.
At work I walk around at night and think of Jesus and cry so much not in pain but in so much love He gives me on many occasions when I am alone and He tell’s me not to go into places not to speak to people at times for He is loving me how no other person can. I feel so so weak as to fall over but He holds me up.
That is what gets me through the day and night.
 
I sometimes hit spots where I feel like I just can’t take one more step or one more breath… and at those times, I take out my rosary (which goes everywhere with me!), and look at the Crucifix. And I realize that whatever I’m going through, the Lord went through much worse, and all for my sake! Knowing how much He loves me helps me to keep going, to have hope, to not be afraid or sad or angry or lonely.

Memory is also very important at such times. I look back on my life, on all the difficult things I’ve already been through, knowing that God has always helped me and never abandoned me–He has never failed me, and never will. That also helps me keep going.

Keeping in mind the Crucifixion and all the times He has helped me–these fill me with such great love that I would do anything and suffer anything for Him! It reminds me of what is truly important.

God be with you.
 
Praying the Rosery and thru out the day praying, Jesus and mary I love you save souls. :gopray2:

God’s love and grace absolutely gets me through every day - without a doubt.
Saying the Rosary daily has been an IMMENSE help in my spiritual growth. The Holy Eucharist and the Rosary are my spiritual “food”.
 
Knowing that I can turn to God no matter what kind of mood I’m in or what trials I’ve been going through. Keeping Him in my thoughts constantly. He love me, and knowing that always strengthens me.
 
Having my neice in my lap watching t.v. together. And when I make her laugh. I get filled with joy and I know that life works out.
 
Calling full stop and saying, “Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” And then doing that one thing, with his help. So many troubles just melt away with that. It all devolves upon Him.

This works because a big problem for me is that I get tied up in the zillion ways I am failing and I am not doing and I am a pathetic example of a Christian and all those expectations I cannot meet, and I, I, I.

My yoke is easy and my burden is light.
