A difficult question for the Orthodox Christian. Luckily for us, there is an answer. Prayer.
I did not make it to church this morning due to an upset stomach and a splitting headache (caused by overindulgence yesterday). So I read the Psalms (not the entire Psalter). The Psalms are a great tool for prayer; the fathers tell us that the entirety of Christianity can be found in the Psalms.
I have noticed that everyone has a favorite Psalm. My favorite is Psalm 144.

I'm glad you made this post. It is important to prepare for and instruct Plan Bs. None of us is perfect, loosely quoted.
ReplyDeleteThis is a favorite from Psalms 102:
6 I am like a desert owl,
like an owl among the ruins.
7 I lie awake; I have become
like a bird alone on a roof
I was alone for so long. I am glad to have you. --and only the smallest bit because I sleep better now.I am grateful. It will be unlikely that I am ever alone again, because of you.
