False Humility 

I have a habit of dwelling on my falls into sin even after I have prayed asking for forgiveness. Thank you for this reminder to move forward.

Lord have mercy on my nicotine addiction. I have asked for You to remove my addiction and You did. I then fell back onto the temptation after 3 weeks clean. Pray for me Brothers and Sisters. Pray for me most Holy Mother of God. Pray for me Saint Luke the Surgeon. Pray for me Saint Silouan the Athonite. Pray for me. Love.

Please pray to God for me that I am able to overcome this habit of mine. I constantly remember the wrongs I’ve committed and already confessed. I pray to our Holy Lady everyday because every hour I constantly remember my previous wrongs 😢

May God grant me the strength to overcome this failing that is embedded in my soul.

Thank you, St. Porphirios. Every time I fall into a certain state, there you appear on my phone with your wisdom. I praise God for his guiding saints!❤🙏

Lord have mercy

Thank you so much for this video. God's Blessing.

GOD forgives us but we dont forgive ourself because we have pride . We should just get up and learn from the mistake and keep moving foreward to the cross ☦️

Thank you.

This exactly me, I need hope.

This channel and this comment section is where I feel Christ Not too many people, not too bold statements, willing to discuss yet faithful

Lord have mercy on me

If anyone is falsly humble, it is me

Thank you

thank you for this

Αμήν!

Amen❤️❤️❤️✝️🙏🏽🙏🏽

❤❤❤

but how to have true humility

Αμήν

I’ve been Orthodox for 6 years now… I really appreciate this video of St. Porphyria’s but I’m confused. I mean even the Jesus prayer tells me to call myself “…a sinner.”

But why then „…have mercy on me a sinner“ if calling yourself a sinner is bad?

How is it for one not yet in the church? God bless

Thank you, this is great reminder

I'm slightly confused. I'm using a prayer book and many of the prayers include phrases like mentioned here as false humility....... St Gabriel regularly said he was rubbish......??

May I know where this is excerpt is quoted from, I would like to study further.

Where is the solution?

What dreams is he talking about? I have a “dream” i should say rather goal of becoming professional basketball athlete, it can be sure considered as a dream from satan to focus on earthy things and become a workaholic. Also becoming professional athlete is selfish desire itself. My question is, can this desire or striving to a goal of becoming a pro athlete be collaborated with living as a orthodox christian? While having its deeper purpose in inspiring people to do their best, exceed their talents and help people with charity, church and poor people with money i gain from sport? As far as I try to combine the two, I see the level of demand both spiritual and physical, and that on most days I have to make a choice between let’s say a prayer or a well rested sleep. Sure you think and know that restful sleep is granted by God and you have a faith that God can provide this if you need even on much shorter sleep duration. Or helping others instead of training and practicing my skills in basketball. Or just being lazy.

what’s the remedy?
