Even if you're bored

Let's fill our lives with prayers. More calmly, more intensely, more carefully. Let's pray to God to listen to our prayers, to response to our requests, to fill our hearts with peace and and in this way our lives will flow such beautifully.... I hope that you pray even perfunctorily. If you want to say something, say it. Someone told me: "If I don't feel like praying, should I pray"? Yes! Even if you 're bored, pray! "Perfunctorily"? It's not perfunctory. Because deep down your soul feels thirsty. It's just that this specific time you 're tired or bored or you have done many other things and you're exhausted.... It's OK. Don't worry... Before you go to sleep, say a few words to God...
