My mind and my faith
« on: March 31, 2010, 12:13:33 PM »
Hi everyone!

Please pray for my ever-wavering mind that it might not lead me to leave the Faith that is true and right. I change my mind very, very often and I seem to have that (watcha-ma-call-it?) something syndrome. Please pray that I could be able to have enough interest in my school subjects and a flaming love for God. And please pray that I may be more steadfast and firm in mind, thought and faith.

Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy. Lord have mercy.

Excellence of character, then, is a state concerned with choice, lying in a mean relative to us, this being determined by reason and in the way in which the man of practical wisdom would determine it. Now it is a mean between two vices, that which depends on excess and that which depends on defect.

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.

Lord have mercy on Thy servant. 

Keep your thoughts centered in God.  Pray often during the day.  Say the Jesus Prayer often.  Read the Holy Scriptures.  Advice was given to me in this forum which I will pass on to you:  Keep your mind on Christ and His mercy and the tricks of the devil will fail.
