I first felt connected to God when I walked alone for two weeks sleeping under the stars and realized this world was no friend to me. I understand then why so many spiritual men live out in the wilds away from distractions, praying, and being thankful. Thank you Father you gave me the gift of the Jesus prayer.!

7 years ago this man was posting videos on how to pray, I had no idea I would need it so much.

Thank you so much Father, your videos give me strength when I stumble with the cross I carry. I come from a Mexican family with deep Catholic roots and my conversion to the Orthodox faith has made me a stranger in my own home. I sacrificed so much with my conversion and have been coping with this new life. There’s a lot of pain inside of me, but I feel within my soul that this was the right path for me even though I don’t understand at the moment. Thank you so much for helping me keep steadfast in the faith. God bless you Father ☦️🙏

I try to pray as if I am in front of God and trying to bond through the words and intentions. It helps when I call God "Abba".

Sometimes im so full of spirit it seems surreal, other times i have none and feel alone/empty.
I read somewhere faith for some is like the ebb and flow of the tides, in and out, full and empty.
I need to pray more, but i always find a reason, always a reason to sin, an out, a lie to myself. Some would say thats my inner demon (screwtape perhaps?) I dont know but i feel faith is hard sometimes.
Lord Jesus, son of God have mercy on me a sinner!
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy inmortal have mercy on US sinners, in the name of the father, son and holy spirit, now and ever till the ages of ages, amen!

Father I prayed for help and to find a new path. I have lied to myself and to God about my sins. I gave myself to God and asked to be saved and came to terms with what was holding me back after hearing your words. Thank you Father.
Please pray for me.

I am so thankful that the Lord has put your video on my path. I am a Protestant looking into the Orthodox faith, trying to learn from videos from people in the church. The video before this one was about mother Mary. I cried out in repentance after finding out my lack of respect for the Mother of God. So I tried to ask her to forgive me with tears pouring down my face but then I doubted that she could hear me, so I tried to pray to God as I always do but now I questioned if I am even doing that right and said to myself that I can't do anything right and started to get really sad and frustrated at myself. Grabbed my phone again, and the first thing I saw on my screen was this video. Thank you thank you thank you. The Lord is good.

When praying make sure to who you direct it to in name.

Keep in mind/heart that Christ Jesus is the unseen guest at every meal and Even the silent listener to Every
Conversation spoken or unspoken in our Hearts. Why? Because he is the Lord our God. AMEN.

Thank you for this, I've begun seeking God for the first time in my life recently and I've been struggling with how to go about praying. Now I've got some good guidelines to go about it

I so needed to hear this right now! I’m a fellow faithful, but sometimes get out of sync with our practice. Thank you!
