  The hardest thing ever is being a Christian, you become so aware of your sins and try hard  not to sin. It is hard in this world to be holy. I pray all my brothers and sisters in Christ stay strong x

  Pray for me brothers. Every step forwards I feel like I take 3 steps back

  I’ve been struggling with addiction for about a year now. I’ve managed to stop drinking, but I still struggle with cocaine. Sometimes I can go weeks or even months without using, but then I fall again.<br><br>Sin feels heavier because we know the truth, and sometimes, when tempted, we deliberately don’t pray and just give in. I’m one of those. I’ve learned that I am a terrible sinner, but God is merciful, and thanks to Him I’ve never given up. As long as I keep moving toward Him, there’s hope.

  I feel utterly devoid of joy and purpose. I keep falling into sin and temptation and it&apos;s eviscerating my spirit. I am nearly dead.

  It’s been a few years since becoming &nbsp;orthodox. I started to notice that I was resisting praying. I couldn’t figure out why but I recently met a Baptist pastor and he started to convince me that orthodoxy was crushing how special I am and how I am a godly woman and he flattered me. I felt that familiar pride I used to live on. I missed being special and above others. I knew it was pride and then this video helped me so much to make sense of what has happened and why I have experienced all of this. Thank you so much. This was for me!

  Jesus promised eternal life not a bed of roses. He knows it’s not in you. Only through Him can we persevere. Life is a character building exam. You on your own will never pass. Only through the grace of Jesus are we given a passing score.

  “… we live like mushrooms in the darkness of the world… as soon as the light of Christ shines upon us all the sin, all the stains, all the dirt that is staining our souls becomes increasingly visible.” ~ Fr Seraphim 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

  I&apos;m joining the orthodox church near me after letting Jesus into my heart 1 year ago, and starting to go all in since this year.<br>I hope to get baptised soon.<br>Pray for me please to not loose my faith.<br>God is great and prayer works, he helped me out of my Pornographie addiction and has teached me so many things, and I have still a lot to learn.<br>Blessed be all of you.

  It is so freeing to know that I am not supposed to be happy. I can thank God for all the struggles and sorrow instead of waiting for them to end.
