When you desire something and try to force God, it doesn't come. It will come "on a day when you do not expect and at an hour you do not know."...Continue your life and your struggle simply and normally...and then everything will be fine. And then grace will fill you and give you joy. One secret is to be found in the divine offices. Abandon yourself to these and the grace of God will overtake you mystically.
Elder Porphyrios, Wounded By Love
I wish I could remember this. It would make things so much easier.
Lord forgive me, a sinner.

Yeah, just living your life is really hard. I'm too impatient and self-indulgent. Again, you've hit the proverbial nail on the head.
