Even today I wanted to pray for a sick family member and used the prayer for sick people. But, as I thought about it more and more, these words really do capture when I'm trying to convey and I feel so much more comfortable expressing these words than trying to fumble with ones of my own. Hi Michelle,

I struggle with feeling that I should come up with my own prayers at times and feel almost that I’m being lazy by using those in my prayer book. Even today I wanted to pray for a sick family member and used the prayer for sick people. But, as I thought about it more and more, these words really do capture when I’m trying to convey and I feel so much more comfortable expressing these words than trying to fumble with ones of my own.

I rely a lot on my daily prayer book as well for the same reasons. I’m glad you were able to feel reconnected through prayer. I rely a lot on my daily prayer book as well for the same reasons.

I'm in the middle of a conversation about Orthodoxy and this is one of the topics. I don't have much personal experience yet with the prayers, but even when I pray the Scripture I stay so much more focused. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on this.
