Hi Father Constantine!
I have such a strange phenomenon as zeal during prayer, I do not know if it is good or, on the contrary, harmful!
Every time I pray before I go to bed, I scream and it’s been a long time.
Recently I started to be more interested in religion: I read the Bible, the Law of God, I started to go to church more often... But also recently (and maybe even earlier than this) started to yell not only when praying, but also, for example, if I think of religion, faith, God, the Kingdom of heaven, etc., I talk about them... I recently went on a bus, and there was a Cathedral outside the window and only I looked at the cross, how I started to YELL! The only thing I can’t say is whether I scream in the church, like I didn’t scream inside, or maybe I don’t remember. Please explain to me what it can be, and is it harmful, if so, what is worth doing to get rid of it?

P.S When I wrote this message, I continued to crack!
