“When we pray continually, God will enlighten us as to what we must do in each situation, even the most difficult. God will speak in our heart. He will find ways. Of course, we can combine prayer with fasting. That is, when we are faced with a serious problem or dilemma, we should approach it with much prayer and fasting. That’s how I have dealt with things often.” – St Porphyrios #orthodoxquotes #orthodoxy #christianquotes #stporphyrios #stporphyriosquotes #throughthegraceofgod

St. Theophan the Recluse assures us that we can't follow Christ seeking "a comfortable life".
