Prayer is always possible for everyone, rich and poor, noble and simple, strong and weak, healthy and suffering, righteous and sinful. The power of prayer is great. Above all, it brings the spirit of God. –St. Seraphim
Without Prayer, there is no Spiritual Life!
In a Book Written By Rt. Rev. Protopresbyter Peter G. Kohanik (Published in 1948)
O Lord and Master of my life: take from me the spirit of sloth, faint-heartedness, lust of power and idle talk.
But grant rather the spirit of chastity, humility, patience and love to Thy servant.
Yea, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own errors and not to judge my brother, for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen.
...and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." Matt 28:20
“Remember that not a single word is lost during prayer if you say it from your heart. God hears each word and weighs it in a balance. Sometimes, it seems to us that our words only strike the air in vain, and sound as a voice of one crying in the wilderness, No, no it is not so!... The Lord responds to every desire of the heart, expressed in words or unexpressed.”
St. John of Kronstadt - “My Life in Christ”
We do not know what the future holds, but we know who holds the future.
The one who walks by faith, not sight;
The one who doubts not, through the night,
Who shuns the evil, does the right.
The one whose life is gentle, pure,
Who grows in grace, becomes mature;
Though many trials doth endure!
The one whose love is faithful, true;
Who does just what he’s told to do;
Whose eyes look far beyond the blue.
-R.E. Neighbour, D.D.
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is.” (Heb. 11:6)
HE PLEASES GOD.
HE PLEASES GOD.
WHO PLEASES GOD?
