Hi. I struggle in several of those areas. In fact, lately I struggle with a lot of spiritual things. I have started praying for 15 minutes per day, on my knees. That's what a dr. I respect suggested that I do three years ago. I did it for a while, and it helped. But eventually i just stopped. I am hoping it will help me get back on track with God.
