Please pray for me. I am going through a lot of stress lately which has been affecting my spirituality and my conduct as a Christian. I am finding it impossible to pray and find comfort in God. It's nothing too major, but it has been affecting me for quite some time and it has been a burden upon me.
May God bless you all and may the Lord have mercy on me.

Hello Severian,
I have always enjoyed your posts here, and I pray that God helps you in this time of trouble. I am experiencing a little of this myself at the moment - I wonder if it might be post-Pascha depression?

I am seconding this. You aren't alone, Severian. Thank you for your blessing and my God be with you. |

It is an education process for me as I learn about the psychology of spiritual apostasy. And others get the benefit of perhaps hearing righteousness for the first time.
Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.
