Most of us have some type of ritual before going to bed—brushing your teeth, reading the Bible, etc. One thing that must be on our list of nighttime activities is praying to God, as Elder Amphilochios of Patmos says:

Do not neglect evening prayer. Pray with eagerness like those who are going to a feast. They are awake and feel joy alone. Thus, since you are going to speak with your Bridegroom, do not listen when the Tempter tells you various things in order to hinder you, because you know there is someone who cares for you.

"I just wanted to thank you all at Ancient Faith Radio for your impressively professional and prayerfully evangelical output. I'm a Dominican friar (in simple vows) from Ireland, and I have few cultural connections with Eastern Orthodoxy, but I greatly appreciate the new insights into the Gospel that your podcasts provide me with. Bail ó Dhia ar an obair (God bless the work)!"

Br. Conor from Ireland
