The video clip you highlighted was very insightful. The young man who created it is most certainly very devout. I'm a recently converted Coptic Orthodox and while we do have several Icons hanging in our home, we do not have anything as elaborate as the video. The Agbeya is the Coptic prayer book and it is used for praying in the Church and at home but to what extent is up to the individual. Personally I pray in the morning and I usually pray this prayer from the Agbeya as it gets my day started off right
Prayer for God’s Accompaniment

Grant me your grace O Lord Jesus, the long-suffering, and be with me that I may dwell in You unto the end. Grant me that I may ask and wish always for what is pleasing to You. Let Your will be my will. Let my will follow always Your will and be in accord with it in a perfect way. Let both of us have one will, for I don’t want to desire anything except what You want and what You wish. Grant me not to lust for the things of this world, that I may dwell in You in all things and hold above all things the desire to be as You would have me be and to do as You would have me do. You are the peace of my heart and the shelter of my life. You are the real peace and the only comfort and apart from You, everything is hard and confusing. Therefore, in this peace which is in You, the Great Eternal Good, I am able to rest. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever.
Our Father who art in Heaven hollowed by thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one in Christ Jesus, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever
Amen
There are prayers for end of the evening in the prayer book but I usually just say my own. If you are curious as to "How to Pray" well the best way to start off is simply with the Lords prayer
Our Father who art in Heaven hollowed by thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one in Christ Jesus, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever
Amen
Thank you for sharing a most interesting video clip

Though I'm not a Coptic Orthodox Christian, I do really love this video. I love the way his home chapel is set up.
