Summary

This quote suggests that when someone takes the time to pray before going to bed, it is akin to a captain assigning sentinels to guard their peace of mind. By entrusting their worries and concerns to a higher power, they can find solace and rest in knowing that their well-being is being looked after. Just as a captain can sleep soundly knowing their guards are vigilant, the act of prayer provides a sense of security and assurance, allowing one to find tranquility in sleep.

The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.
