“The most important thing in a prayer, of which one must take care primarily, – is to have a lively and clear-eyed faith in the Lord: think of Him being in front of you and inside you, – and then, if you wish, ask the Lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit, and it shall be granted you.
Ask simply, without any hesitation, – and your God will be everything for you, doing great and wondrous deeds in an instant.”
St. John of Kronstadt
