Hey all, I've been struggling again lately with some things in my life, specifically regaining some control and trying to re-establish a prayer life. It's been more difficult than in the past and although I don't think I've become a worse person, I can definitely feel a difference and i've been more stressed, frustrated and dissapointed/depressed since my prayer life dissapeared. I am certain I will regain control, but seeing as school is particularly challenging this semester, I would like to re-establish my prayer life ASAP. Through your prayers, the help of my priest and my efforts, I believe things will turn out good. Please remember me in your prayers, thank you!  In Christ, Devin |

Lord, have mercy! I've had that a number of times. Devin, you are in my unworthy prayers.

You are not alone in this struggle. I too am so weak in prayer, and I often feel unworthy of even calling myself an Orthodox Christian. But thanks be to God, for "His mercy endureth forever."
"Lord have mercy."
