Nothing Can Overcome the Power of Prayer

Let us be humble before God and thus, attract Him towards us. Great is the power of prayer, and greatly valued by God.

Don’t Think Highly of Yourself

If you are fought by anger, maybe because you were insulted by someone who challenged you to insult back even more fiercely than they did, look down to the ground and remember you were fashioned of it and cast out the anger from your soul.

Fighting Thoughts – Past as Fault, Future as Fear, Sin as Constant Temptation

The devil, in order to trouble you, sends you all sorts of thoughts. About past, future, present, about the sins that you did or could do, through dreams or visions that may seem to be “from God.”

The Easy and Righteous Fast

The first step of fasting is abstinence from expensive and hearty food. This will ease the belly and body from the burden coming from abundant food. Also, the imagination is clean, because the vapours of food are cast away by the light of fasting.

Evil thoughts are cast away only by good thoughts

The best way to clear your thoughts is to have a main thought that you should focus on, and ignore the coming evil thoughts and encouraging the good ones. The best method to do that is by saying this prayer “My Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, the sinner!” in order to attract good thoughts.

How do we manage the fear of death?

Every true prayer is a fight with the death and a denial of it. Every true prayer is a fight for life and an admission of it.

Make out of your soul a welcoming house for our Lord!

The light of God, given to us in abundance through the Holy Mysteries and services, personal prayer, Jesus’ prayer and the study of patristic books, they all aim towards the same target: to make out of us a durable house. Saints pray for us in heaven and interfere for us, but we should also make an effort to build our spiritual house on healthy, durable and untainted and holy grounds.

How can we fight against selfishness?

First of all, we should start by realising that we are selfish, and after to pray to the Lord to soften our heart, to make ourselves better and be ashamed of our selfishness.

The evil thought is casted only with a good one

The best way to gather your thoughts is having a main one that helps you to recognise the others, and to cast the evil and support the good ones. The easiest way is this prayer: ‘Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!’ We say this in order to be able to be steadfast in good thoughts.

Never give up; fight!

Even if you are in Bucharest, or in a remote village, Christ is the same everywhere. God knows beforehand what you need, but he wants you to fight. Don’t give up, don’t leave your life for the upcoming challenges!
