DO NOT FEAR THIS WORLD

The Church Fathers warn us about focusing on outer temptations.
Please note, the quotation from the Epistle of St James is from James 1, not chapter 1.

[GodBlessUs-Amen]

I fell into sin yesterday. Hard. I had a bad day and I did what I told myself I wouldn't do again. Every day is a battle. It has to be that way. I'd rather fight the good fight than succumb to the vile and wicked desires of my heart. In every aspect of life wickedness attacks me. It stalks me in hopes to recruit me. I will be bent and I will be bruised. I will not break because I will always return to the Lord my Savior. My sins are horrible. My God gives me a way out and I still indulge. Yet I return. Pray for me brothers and sisters. Even if for a split second. I have no doubt left. The Lord exists and I will try to serve him through faith, righteousness, and trust. Today is a good day. PRAISE BE TO THE LORD OUR GOD! AMEN <3

Lord hear my prayers. As a single mother. I’m still struggling financially trying to provide the basics for my two sons. Both are are special needs. And now that school is starting I’m overwhelmed. Every month is a struggle not to end up on the streets. Father give me strength, because I’m so tired of struggling. I’m ready to give up but with your help Father God I can move mountains. Jesus guide me.❤️

I fell into lustful temptations today yet again, and felt extremely guilty for it. I repented and prayed for forgiveness, and now I see this video one hour later. Thank you, it speaks a lot. May God bless all of you.

My father passed a year ago and I had fallen into a deep pit of despair. My whole family has passed. After my father’s passing I was continually attacked by demons during the night.I would wake up terrified and then would know something was in the room with me. I seeked out the Lord and he was always with me. I’ve grown closer and closer since. I have yet to crawl out of my pit of despair but, I’ve been getting happier knowing Christ is with me. Things are slowly getting better

Father Spyridon when i was Hungry you gave me food to eat when i was sick you visited me. Thank you so much, God is with you ☦️

[Bobby.truthsayer.]

May we all pray continuously for the Lord to strengthen our resolve to continually repent. Repentance itself is a gift from God. Jesus said; Without Me, you can do nothing.

[Spartanzarevac]

I'm falling into sin on a daily basis almost I've been getting better, or used to, I'm slowly worsening again, please pray for me brothers and sisters.

[Seeker]

Fr Spyridon, thank you for your ministry. These talks have become very important to me.
We are children of the Living God, who sent His only Son to redeem us with His precious blood. So, why do we doubt?
The world is a raging storm, throwing crashing waves onto our little boat constantly. As soon as we try to recover from one blow, another lands, still more furious and damaging. Yet, even on those very waves, in the fourth watch of the night, our Lord is walking toward us to gather us to himself and saying to us; “Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.”….
…”Oh thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?”

[Adrianshull]
