Please could you pray for me to find right relationship with God? I am searching orthodoxy for a few months. I would appreciate very much if anybody could tell me if in orthodoxy man could be delivered from the power of darkness. I am a bit sceptical given my experience with other christian churches - there is too much fairytales and the reality check is much weaker than bald statements...Thanks in advance

Lord, have mercy. Guide, enlighten, protect, and keep your servant, helping him in every good effort, that he may come to the knowledge of the Truth and the Love of Your Kingdom!
May the Grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Love of God the Father, and the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with you always!

Welcome to the forum. May the Good Lord have mercy upon you, and help guide you to the Truth. Matthew 16:18 (King James Version)
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. |

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.
