My faith means a lot to me and I strive to follow it. I often feel like I fall very short in that aspect. I know I do not pray nearly as much as I should. I want to read more scripture or theological books but again I struggle to make those goals. There are so many ways I want to be better in my faith. I am afraid though that perhaps if I do start to pray better or read devotionals more that I will become proud and puffed up which I won't say I don't struggle with pride now.
I love being an Orthodox Christian and going to confession. I don't have to struggle alone. I can first of all find healing in the sacrament of confession and through a priest, I can find advice and spiritual support. Most of all I love the whole community of being an Orthodox Christian. We do liturgy together. We cannot do services as individuals they are meant to be done and have to be done as a community. We all participate in Eucharist together in community.
