If you want comfort in a tiring world
«The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?»
(Hebrews 13:6)
A man was standing with his friend at the gate of his garden.
Two children appeared before them.
His friend said to him:
(Notice the difference between these two children.)
He carried one of them in his arms and stood him on the edge of the garden gate.
Then he stepped back several feet, folded his arms, and invited the child to jump toward him. In a moment the child leaped toward him, and he caught him in his arms.
Then he tried the same test with the second child, but the matter was different with him; the child became disturbed and refused to move.
So he spread his folded arms to encourage the child, give him confidence, and reassure him that he would catch him, but the child did not move, so he gently set him down on the ground.
The man asked his friend about the secret of the difference between the two children.
His friend smiled and answered:
(The first child is my son. As for the second, he is a stranger I have never seen before.)
The first child had confidence in his father's ability and certainty that he was able to catch him in his embrace.
Likewise, we should have confidence in the power of our Heavenly Father and certainty that He is able to carry us on everlasting arms.
So let us throw ourselves into His embrace, trusting in His fatherhood and His love.
Dr. Link, the famous psychiatrist, conducted statistical studies on ten thousand people. From his tests on them he drew an important result, namely:
[That everyone who believes in God enjoys a stronger and better personality than those who do not believe in God and do not practice any worship.]
And the American psychologist (Abraham) said:
[The newest science, which is psychiatry, heralds the principles of religion. Psychiatrists realize that faith in God and prayer are capable of conquering anxiety, fears, and nervous tension, and of healing more than half of the diseases we complain of. It has become certain to me that a person who truly believes does not suffer from any psychological illness.]
Faith is comfort for the one who suffers in a tiring world.

Advice from a Dead Man
(He had written it before his death)
Reflect well on what I have written.
When I die, I will not worry,
nor will I care about my worn-out body,
for there are people who will do what is necessary, namely:
1- They will strip me of my clothes...
2- They will wash me...
3- They will shroud me...
4- They will carry me out of my house...
5- They will take me to my new dwelling (the grave)...
6- Many people will come to attend my funeral...
In fact, many of them will cancel their work and appointments for the sake of burying me...
And many of them may never have thought about my advice a single day...
7- My belongings will be disposed of...
My keys...
My books...
My bag...
My shoes...
My clothes, and so on...
And if my family is fortunate, they will give them in charity.
Be certain that the world will not grieve for me...
The movement of the world will not stop...
The economy will continue...
My job — someone else will come to do it...
And my wealth will go lawfully to the heirs...
While I am the one who will be held accountable for it!!!
The little and the much...
And the first thing that will be dropped from me at my death is my name!!!
So when I die, they will say of me: "Where is the body...?"
And they will not call me by my name..!
And when they want to pray over me, they will say: "where is the funeral!"!!!
And they will not call me by my name..!
And when they begin to bury me, they will say: "Bring the deceased," and they will not mention my name..!
Therefore, my lineage will not deceive me, nor will my position deceive me, nor my fame...
How insignificant this world is, and how great is that which we are heading toward...
O you who are still on the earth until now... know that grief over you will be of three kinds:
1- People who know you superficially will say: "Poor thing."
2- Your friends will grieve for hours or days, then return to their talk and even their laughter.
3- The deep grief is in the home.
Your family will grieve a week... two weeks, a month... two months, or even a year.
And after that, they will place you in the archive of memories!!!
Your story among people has ended,
and your true story has begun — which is eternal life.
There has vanished from you:
1- Beauty...
2- And wealth...
3- And health...
4- And children...
5- You have departed from houses... and palaces
6- And the spouse...
And nothing remains with you except your deeds.
And the true life has begun.
And the question here is:
What have you prepared for your hereafter from now???
This is a truth that needs reflection...
Therefore, be keen on:
1- Your love for God and for people
2- Your prayer and your living relationship with God
3- Your charity — and it should be in secret...
4- Good deeds...
5- A life of continual repentance.
If you help remind people of this article while you are still alive now — during your answering of the exam in this world —
then you will not regret it when the time ends and the answer sheet is pulled from your hand without your permission!!!
May God grant us to live a life of repentance and readiness, so that we may stand before Him without blame or stumbling, and make for ourselves friends with unrighteous wealth.

The three children were who survived the death that King Herod decreed upon all the children of Bethlehem in order to ensure the killing of the child Jesus?
The children are:
1- The child Jesus — he and his family fled to the land of Egypt.
2- John the Baptist: Elizabeth feared for the child because he had removed her reproach of barrenness, so she said to Zechariah the priest: "What shall we do?" Zechariah the priest replied: "I received his annunciation from upon the altar; I will return him to the altar, and the Lord will deal with him." And indeed the Lord sent the angel, who snatched the child John from upon the altar and placed him in the wilderness — meaning the mountain — and he was less than two years old, and the angels raised him.
3- The third child, Nathanael: His parents were afraid of Herod's soldiers, who were searching for any child two years old or younger to slaughter.
Nathanael's father had a sycamore fig tree that produced fruit called sycamore figs, and Nathanael's father used to sell from it to people.
He would tie a small basket to a branch of the sycamore tree.
For when a person came and bought figs, he would climb the sycamore tree and pick the ripe figs and place them in the basket, and lower the basket by rope to the person buying, and raise the basket while on the branch, and tie the basket to the tree branch, and come down.
So Nathanael's mother suggested that they put the child Nathanael in the basket tied to the branch of the sycamore tree. And when the soldiers came to search for any child under two years old, they found no children in the house and went out. Then his mother brought him down and hid him, and he did not come out until after Herod's death.
And Nathanael lived.
And when the Lord of Glory began His ministry, Philip saw Him and was greatly amazed by the Lord of Glory Jesus.
This Philip was a friend of Nathanael, so Philip said to Nathanael: "We have found the Messiah." He said to him: "Where is he from?"
Philip replied: "From Nazareth." He said to him: "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?"
Philip said to him: "Come and see for yourself."
So he went with him. When Jesus saw him, He said to him: "You are an Israelite in whom there is no guile."
Then Nathanael replied to the Lord of Glory: "You know me?" Jesus replied: "Yes, I know you — you were under the fig tree." So Nathanael believed in the Lord Jesus, for this secret had not been revealed to anyone, and he became one of the disciples of the Lord of Glory.

Twenty-four short prayers,
by Saint John Chrysostom,
to be recited over the 24 hours
of the day:
1- O Lord,
do not deprive me of your eternal, heavenly good things.
2- O Lord,
save me from eternal hell.
3- O Lord,
if I have sinned in word, in thought, or in deed,
forgive me.
4- O Lord,
save me from every need, ignorance, forgetfulness, and laziness,
and from cruel insensitivity.
5- O Lord,
save me from every temptation and abandonment.
6- O Lord,
enlighten my heart, which has been darkened by base desire.
7- O Lord, I have sinned as a human,
but You, have mercy on me as God and Creator.
8- O Lord,
look upon my soul's sickness and send Your grace to help me,
so that Your name may be glorified in me.
9- O Lord, Jesus Christ,
inscribe the name of Your servant in the Book of Life,
and grant me a good end.
10- O my Lord God,
I have done nothing good,
but let Your compassion have mercy on me at some time.
11- O Lord,
rain upon my heart the dew of Your grace.
12- O Lord, God of heaven and earth,
remember me — the sinful, cruel, wicked, shameful one — according to Your great mercy,
when You come in Your kingdom.
13- O Lord,
accept me in repentance, and do not forsake me.
14- O Lord,
do not lead me into temptation.
15- O Lord,
grant me good thoughts.
16- O Lord,
grant me tears, remembrance of death, and compunction.
17- O Lord,
grant me confession of my thoughts.
18- O Lord,
grant me humility, the cutting off of my will, and obedience.
19- O Lord,
grant me patience, long-suffering, and humility.
20- O Lord,
plant in me the root of good things, which is fear of You.
21- O Lord,
make me worthy to love You with all my heart, mind, and soul,
and to keep Your will in all things.
22- O Lord,
protect me from wicked people, demons, and passions,
and from every contrary matter.
23- O Lord,
as You command,
O Lord,
as You know,
O Lord,
as You will — let Your will be done in me.
24- O Lord,
let Your will be my will,
through the intercessions and supplications of the all-holy Mother of God,
and all Your saints,
for You are blessed unto the ages of ages,
Amen.
