Daily Prayers

"When you pray, try to let the prayer reach your heart; in other words, it is necessary that your heart should feel what you are talking about in your prayer, that it should wish for the blessing for which you are asking.... Observe, during prayer, whether your heart is in accord with that which you are saying." - St. John of Kronstadt

- St. John of Kronstadt, from My Life in Christ: Part 1, Holy Trinity Monastery pg. 87
