How Do We Feel When We Miss God?

What is the wise state of the heart, the Holy Spirit’s calling and the state of the man, of the son who loves his Father and can call His name and is ready for His Kingdom?

How should you act with those who lie but accuse you of not trusting them?

Accept what they say without believing them, without judging them, without saying anything. Just pray “Lord have mercy, make her (him) understand that what he says is not true”. But do this without telling them anything and in a week things will be different.

If we do not hear ourselves during prayer, why do we ask God to hear us?

Those who speak words of prayer automatically and with their mind completely scattered won’t receive from God the gifts they ask. For, when they are asked what they prayed for, they do not remember anything mechanical uttering of the words of prayer.

Prayer - Fight for Salvation

Our guardian angel is always saying to us “Pray and watch incessantly! Keep and fructify through prayer what you have conquered!”  In a moment of spiritual zeal you may embrace the height of spiritual salvation.

God appreciates diligence more than the result

Everything is appreciated by God in his divine way, not in a humanly way, because God does not offer rewards for our acts but for the effort.

Perseverance in prayer – the most useful medicine

Perseverance in sincere prayer is indeed useful and very powerful. If we had prayed to God and he listened, we should thank Him.

Saint Paraskevi, thank you for everything!

I am grateful to her for every time she hastened to help me when I cried my trouble before her Holy relics.

God wants us to talk to Him as much as possible

We as Christians should always pray to God, anytime, anywhere. And even if our wishes are fulfilled or not, we should still thank Him. Sometimes He listens, sometimes He doesn’t, because He knows even before we ask, what is good or bad for us.

If you make silence in your soul, you will hear the answer to your prayer

Jesus Christ himself, in order to show us the use and need of a silent life, from time to time he let aside public sermon and went to silent places, so that he find peace and pray.

Don’t work without prayer!

There’s no other treasure more honest than prayer in our lives. This is why you should never let it aside, but as our Lord said, pray so that our struggle will not be in vain.
