Pray Even When You Don’t Feel Like It

Some might say I seem to be an energetic, relatively happy person. Sometimes I am. But my core, alas, is more "gloomy Gus", the lifelong pessimist. And in a world that looks like it is going off the rails, I can't even find a spark of optimism of late, and I too often feel like running away, and leaving behind everything, including my faith. I don't even want to pray for everything looks too dark. But there it is. That's the crux. I must pray, especially when it seems impossible. Especially when I do not feel like it. I hope you take my advice this occasion. I hope I take my advice.
