I'm struggling spiritually. What is the first thing I should check?

So many times that I've talked to people, and people especially who are outside of our parish who reach out to me for help regarding various problems, the first thing I ask them every time is, do you have a prayer rule? And I would say probably greater than 95 percent of the time they say they don't have a prayer rule. Remember, when we pray, when we enter into services, when we venerate icons, this is the energies of God that are being activated and transmitted to us. They strengthen us. They're our spiritual nourishment. So when we enter into these activities, it's like eating spiritual food. That energy from God energizes our soul.
