"In life, you will face many difficulties. Questions will fall like rain. Worries will besiege you, and often you will find that living a Christian life is hard. Do not be troubled. God will help. You do what is within your power. Can you read for five minutes a day? – Then read. Can you pray for five minutes a day? – Then pray. And if you can’t manage five, pray for two minutes. The rest is God’s concern."
~Elder Emilianos of Mount Athos
