I need prayers

Hello, I need prayers and advice. Today I have fallen into grave sin. I went and partook in lust and fornication. (I will spare the details but it was with a woman I did not know)

I am not yet in any Orthodox Church but I do believe full heartedly that it is the one and true church and I really want to join one. I contacted a church but I am yet to receive answers to my questions. I have been trying to follow the lord and do my best but I fell today worse than I ever have. I cried more than I ever have for my action but I still feel empty and spiritually dead. I don’t know why I am so shocked that I fell if I look at my life but I feel lost.

I just wanted to say this and ask for prayers because I have no one else to turn to except Christ and you all.

I just wish I could converse with the lord as I do with people but I never hear from him like I would from people.

Please pray for me as I really need it.
