www.byzcath.org Forums Faith & Christian Life Prayer prayer request

I have applied to a formation program in my church. It seems that ever since I put pen to paper my situation has seemed to worsen (health, job, finances, etc.). I dare say that I feel like Job, but I am in no way even close to him in faith and righteousness.

I humbly ask for prayers for my family and myself at this time as we struggle through our daily lives, that we will never lose our trust in our heavenly Father, who loves us all more than the birds and flowers He created for us to marvel at.

Slava Isusu Christu!

SLAVA NA VIKI! Dear Glenn, +May the LORD bless and strengthen you! Know that you have made the 'evil one' very angry by taking these steps to deepen your commitment in service to the Church of Christ...and therefore REJOICE and know that what you are attempting to do is good and holy! Do not falter now...press on in the knowledge that having put your hand to the plow, you must continue the task...until it is completed. Know also that you are NOT alone, but that Christ Himself will be with in all of this by the presence of His "bright radiant guaridan angel given you at Holy Baptism...and that He will not forsake you until the task (your holiness) is complete!

In prayerful remembrance,
+Father Archimandrite Gregory
