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.
