The rhythm of prayer

The rhythm of prayer in Orthodoxy is simply learning to return to Christ throughout your day. It isn’t about praying constantly or perfectly. It’s about making prayer a natural part of life.

A simple rhythm might look like this:

  • Morning: Thank God for a new day and say your morning prayers.
  • During the day: Whisper a short prayer whenever you think of God, such as, “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.” Pray before meals, before difficult conversations, or when someone comes to mind.
  • Evening: Thank God for the day, ask forgiveness for your sins, pray for others, and end the day with evening prayers.

The goal isn’t to tick off prayers on a list. It’s to keep gently turning your heart back to Christ, again and again, until prayer becomes as natural as breathing. Over time, this steady rhythm brings peace and helps your relationship with Him grow.

What is faith ?

This isnt a question that can be answered simply and I dont intend to claim to be a scholar simply a sinner that follows Christ.

For me faith in God is not like solving a maths problem where you reach a point of absolute proof and there is nothing left to question. God is not simply an answer we arrive at through logic — He is Someone we come to know, trust, and love.

Faith is not just believing that God might exist; it is the assurance that He is there and that we can place our trust in Him.

Because faith is a relationship, it can exist alongside doubt. Having questions or moments of uncertainty does not mean we have no faith. In fact, doubt can sometimes be part of a living faith because it shows we are searching, growing, and engaging with God rather than simply accepting things without thought.

Faith is not about being comfortable and never questioning; it is about taking the courage to step forward, to seek, and to discover more of God.

In this way, faith is an ongoing conversation with our doubts — choosing to continue trusting while we keep growing.
