    Thank you for this video. I have fallen for this passion twice in the past 2 weeks...it’s so hard to get back up and start praying when I feel this way. It feels so heavy and as though the appetite for prayer is gone...but your advice has been helpful for me! I need to preserve more

    Thank you, Father! May the good Lord reward you for this great work & helpful words. Please pray for me, the unworthy servant of God

    Pray for me my brothers and sisters. I’m blessed but the way I want to avoid life makes it seem like I’m not pleased with my blessed life the Lord has blessed me with. Yes, I’ll push myself to pray more against this.
