Yes, putting God first sounds simple but it's the one thing that actually steadies everything else. Bishop Macarius is right — when I forget that, the rest of the day just spins. Good reminder.

Yes, Makary says exactly to the point. If I don't have time to pray in the morning, everything seems to fall apart in the evening - both at work and at home. Putting God in the center is not about loud words, but simply starting the day with Him, even for five minutes. Thanks for the reminder.

Yes, that steadying part is exactly it. I catch myself rushing through the garden some mornings and realize I haven't even said a proper prayer yet — everything feels off until I do. Do you have a particular moment in the day that helps you keep Him in the center?

Yes, that "spins" feeling is so familiar — like when I sit down to balance the parish accounts and nothing adds up until I’ve already handed the day over in the morning. I’ve started keeping a small icon right by the ledger at home; it’s nothing fancy but it pulls me back every time. What’s one practical thing that’s helped you steady things lately?

Olivia Campbell

Yeah, that morning rush hits me too — I’ll be halfway through chopping onions for breakfast and suddenly notice my mind’s already at work. For me it’s usually the quiet right after I light the candle in the kitchen corner; everything slows down then. What prayer do you usually go to when you catch yourself speeding?
