I've been going through some emotional stuff. One thing I've found that has helped. I didn't know how to pray, so my prayer was "What should I be praying?" And of course every good boy who went to Sunday School knows the answer to that question. As I prayed the Lord's Prayer, I realized that I needed not to merely address God, but I needed to address those words to myself and God. So while praying, I commit to hallowing his name, bringing his kingdom, doing his will, thanking and relying on him for provision, forgiving others, and avoiding temptation and evil. And he agrees to work alongside me in these things. And we both remember that the kingdom is his, the power is his, and the glory is his forever and ever. It helps to have these specific directions. Inactivity can help the negative emotions bog me down.

Pray for me today.

Zack, you didn't ask for this; but since it's good here it is anyways.

He was then the guest speaker at the Sunday of Orthodoxy Vespers on March 16 at Hellenic Orthodox Church of the Annunciation in Buffalo, NY where he spoke on The Lord's Prayer.
