From what I've seen of the Jordanville prayer book, the morning and evening prayers are quite similar. After completing the prayers, I take a minute or two to confess my sins, ask for intercession, and give thanks.For 1, I have an icon of the Theotokos, Christ, and my patron saint in my icon corner. I venerate them before and after praying. Usually at night I'll burn incense during my prayers.For 2, yes. I pray in the morning after I've had coffee, showered, and gotten dressed so I have enough time to feel wakeful. At night, I pray an hour or two before bedtime for the same reason. Sitting or lying down is better than nothing, but if it's a common occurrence consider praying at a different time.</blockquote>
