Prayer as a Relationship: Finding Stillness in the Rush
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if prayer began as a relationship, not a technique? In Episode 4, Mother Theoliptie shares how a simple daily rule; first and last words: “Lord, I love You” shaped her life with Christ. Lydia (Eritrean Orthodox, 22) tells how, amid college pressure, the same habit anchored her week as she worshiped with a Coptic parish (sister churches within the Oriental Orthodox communion). We finish with a guided morning/evening pattern you can start tonight.
Practice: Say “Lord, I love You” on waking & before sleep; add one breath of silence.
