What is Prayer?

Nourish Your Soul
with Inspirational Prayers

Our souls also need to be nourished.
We eat breakfast and a few hours later we’re hungry for lunch.
Our souls are also hungry and need to be nourished
at least 3 times a day -
through inspirational prayers.

Refresh youself with prayer.

In the morning, and in life,
is the time of ascent,
of beginning,
of getting going.
In the afternoon is the peak of our affairs
and in the evening of the day
and of life, begins the descent.
At each of these times we pray.
