A thought for the day

They asked Abba Makarios 'How should we pray?' And the old man replied, 'There is no need to speak much in prayer; often stretch out your hands and say "Lord, as you will and as you know, have mercy on me." But if there is war in your soul, add, "Help me!" and because he knows what we need, he shows mercy on us.'
