“I’m reading through the portions of the prayers I have memorized (the Trisagion, The Lord’s Prayer, ‘it is truly meet…’, Gladsome Light, etc.) I often stumble as my brain is already reciting the version I know while my eyes are reading a version with very different wording.”
My challenge with every single prayer book I’ve gotten since the little red Antiochian prayer book I first learned with. I’m super particular and it just throws me off when things are different. Undoubtedly just my own neurosis here, it’s frustrating to be sure.

This is a good one for sure!
