Hello fellow morning prayer and meditation enthusiast. This book brings you a blueprint to follow in helping you to get closer to a God of your understanding. I see myself as a spiritual person. I do not intend to tell you who your God has to be I give you the opportunity to find your God. My goal is to open your mind to the benefits of seeking God first thing in the morning. It is imperative that each individual spend a chosen amount of time talking to God. Equally important is your time spent listening to God. How do you know if the voice you are listening to is God's? He is the soft gentle voice that you hear during the course of the day that says things like. "I do not think that is a good idea". You know the one you did not listen to and later on when the crisis is over you wish you had. You asked yourself why did I do that? The other voice, the loud chatty one that can only offer you stuff is constantly leading you down the wrong path. My main objective is to help you to make better choices. To understand that Karma is real. Getting together for an hour each week is nice. What about the other 167 hours that the Darkside spends getting you to do things that are detrimental to your moral well-being. God will never tell you to throw a brick through someone's window. Evil tells you that prayer is not required or to be taught in schools. I was the Evil narcissistic pathological liar who followed Satan's game plan of looking for my happiness out there. My contentment was based on the just as soon as I get into the perfect relationship. Buy the most expensive car. Belonging to the right country club in the perfect neighborhood. Getting the impeccable outfit to wear to church on Sunday. My life had to be flawless at all times. I am here to tell you that nothing from out there will bring you the satisfaction and kindness that you crave until you surrender to God. He is the true source of Hope and wisdom. When I was at the lowest separation from God suffering from loneliness. I took no responsibility for my actions. My rage was turned inward which in turn caused me to suffer 22 years of depression. I happened upon the prayer of Saint Francis and changed my life forever. The Darkside is still wondering what happened. He thought he had a convert for life. As I put the prayer into action in my life and live by its principles I immediately acquired peace and serenity. That can only be achieved by finding God and introducing him into my life. It is my intention to help you to find that same peace of mind with the morning prayer and meditations that I am presenting in this book. It is intended to give spiritual advisors daily material to help others cope with their everyday routine. You cannot do this alone. Hopefully I can inspire you to find a Power greater than yourself. Thank You Jesus!

Yours truly,
