[QUOTE="Knight.of.Logos, post: 1558565, member: 17234"] I try to do the morning and evening prayers every day from the Jordanville Prayer book. It is important to really try to feel and understand the words as they are being expressed. I admit I cannot always do this, but I am making the effort. Also before I sleep I do a prayer sequence where I first glorify the Holy Trinity, then I offer thanks to God in general but also for specific things that have happened in the day, and then I repent for sins I have committed during the day, and finally I pray to God for good virtues and spiritual blessings (trying to be specific here too). I forget where I saw this type of prayer recommended but it is great and a nice way to balance out the written down prayers of the prayer book. I will do the Jesus Prayer most days. The amount of repetitions varies a lot depending on how much time I have and how I am feeling that day. I definitely pray more when I am struggling strongly with something. Lately I am also trying to make at least a few prostrations. Usually in the morning after the morning prayers. This seems to be helping. [/QUOTE]
