Fair enough, Connor I guess. And @Deleted User didn't realize we had kids quite that young in here. I remember that time in my life, it was rough, but let me tell you; it's well worth to neglect studies in favor of honest spiritual work. God knows your heart, and if you're just doing it to avoid responsibility, but sometimes it's ok to bail on school and get into His word and just pray for a few days. Let Him work in you and heal you, enjoy his rest and peace. He'll honor that comittment you make and keep to Him. I wish that's something someone told me in high school, because my spirit suffered trying to keep up with the world. It still does, but adult consequences are far worse than High School consequences for a wrong heart, and my adult will is much weaker for lack of training.

I'll be praying for you to find peace, and that God guides you in a way safe from the mistakes like I made. It's not easy getting things figured out, but I believe there is hope

@SUPER MALE VITALITY™ thanks mate, tbh it was kinda hard keeping a straight face while praying for you but this is gonna be much easier now. @Deleted User listen to this guy because these are times in which you will be led astray. I regret renouncing God when I was younger because now I have been finally feeling fullfiled after rediscovering my faith. Don't do the same mistakes as we did

@SUPER MALE VITALITY™ @Alex R. Thanks lad, I just go by JC and thanks for telling me about the spiritual bit. I do bible study for 10-15 minutes every 1-2 days.

Already doing leagues better than me my dude. I have to lurk atheist shitposting to force myself into the Word, I'm a mess, but you have time to cultivate those habits still. You're in a good place right now, even if it's stormy. Hold fast to the Word, to prayer, and stay strong in the church, and the Lord's peace will find you, and it will harden you and warm you against the storms that will be to come

Pray for the Christians in Sri Lanka that were killed the morning of this most holy of days

I actually teared up when I heard about it in the sermon

There is just no end to these attacks

The world is more and more against us

It's in times like this that we need to have faith

We should pray for the safety of believers worldwide

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"

Amen

Amen

This past lent has been extremely taxing on all of us since my big reveal to my Muslim family that I'm Orthodox Christian. I know, oh Lord, that I must stay vigilant against all attempts to steer me back to Islam. But with every dialogue with my parents, it has slowly deafened and cooled my heart. It has been absolutely hell.

I know that this totally outside my realm to ask of God, But please I would very much would like to pray that some miracle, no matter how small or insignificant, or something happens around Pascha. Something that will at least make my dear Muslim family understand that Christ has risen from the dead. I pray that our dear mother, the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary might help soften my mother's aching heart.

Theotokos?

translates literally as Mother of God

Ahhhh

@Deleted User imagine they become coptic or syrriac ortho

will pray a rosary tonight for you

I really REALLY want that to happen

But if they could at least soften their hearts, thst would be more than enough for me

You have my blessings, friend

More literally it means "God bearer"

μήτηρ is mother

Please pray for my step father who passed away last night. He was a good man.

Lord have mercy

Please pray for my great aunt, she's currently hospitalized, she has trouble breathing and coughing hurts for her, I suspect it might be Bronchitis. She's a Christian as well. Many thanks if you do pray for her.

I shall pray for her tonight, my friend.

Many thanks.

You're very welcome.

Can people please pray for my friend Daniel? Things are looking like he’s going to have to go to family courts for custody over his kid

A guy who hangs out over at my house a lot just had his dad commit suicide we think. From what I understand, he was a Christian, but please pray over this.

The guy's name is Chris

Pray for me I might lose my job. 😓

I'll pray for you my brother

*Rerum Novarum intensifies*

Pray for my aunt Jackie please, she fell today and lives alone and is about 80 years old and just got to the hospital and they're gonna do surgery on her hips.

Get Chrismated and confessed and recieved holy communion first time yesterday and Pascha Divine liturgy

Once again, I have fallen to sins of impurity. Please pray that I may be able to promptly pick myself up, dust myself off, and continue to strive for a life of purity, devoutness, and holiness.

pray for me that I may place my trust in the lord.

Need a 76 on this next test. Wish me luck, bois
