@@blasted2691 Thank you. It depends on your interests, but the pilgrimages to Mount Athos and Russia are some of my favourites. I hope you find them useful.
Lord have mercy on me, for I have sinned greatly. Because of my Autism I have been greatly mislabeled and mistreated during the darkest days of my life, wherein I receive no help from my fellow men. I pray you help me overcome this depression of mine, and that I endure my suffering and make peace with my shortcomings.
I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong. I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to learn to solve. I asked for prosperity and God gave me a brain and brawn to work. I asked for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for love and God gave me people to help. I asked for favours and God gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed.
I am a nothing compared to you. Completely worthless. I'm suffering with the pains of cancer and all I do is ask for mercy. I'm not even worthy to mention it. God forgive me
@@Yorgo1967not worthless to the lord Jesus Christ, never discount the price paid for you brethren stay resolute in your faith and your lord, I’ll be praying for you
Depressed since always, tried even electroshock therapy. Unemployed, unqualified, dont know if i'll have food next moth, let alone a roof. Never, never, gave up my faith. I know the Lord is with me at all times.
Depression is aggression/anger against one's self. Anger is Thanatos (death). Pray that God gives you His grace to help you forgive yourself, to be forgiven. God will free you of your depression and lead you to eternal peaceful and fruitful life. God bless you.
@@johnnytass2111 It can be a physical imbalance in the body. For example, I was extremely low on electrolytes last year and started suffering earth shattering depression, despondency and anxiety to the point of wanting to end it all. It was terrifying. The demons see these weaknesses and prey on us through them. We must acknowledge the problem and ask God to help us fix it, or bear it. Our bodies (including mind) and souls are intertwined and we must focus on health of both. We must find the root of the problem as depression can be caused by physical ailments just as much as of the mind. We can't write it off as one thing, it can be many things. We must pray for God to reveal what it is to us, asking intercession of the Theotokos and Saints (I go to Sts. Panteleimon, Luke the Surgeon and Nektarios the Wonderworker personally) and to bear it if it can't be healed.
I was not aided by anything until the mushroom. I believe God uses natural tools. Prescribed antidepressants had already nearly done me in completely. I pray you find a key to unlock your natural spiritual responsiveness to God's love.
@𝕂𝕚𝕥𝕂𝕒𝕥𝕟𝕚𝕡 ℂ𝕒𝕥 ie, it's not some unfixable "condition" which modernity needs us to believe. Eat better, move more, that imbalance disappears. Returning to our roots and God's foods is far more reliable than outsourcing mental health and thereby daily motivation to a psychologist or pill mill.
Yes, The Orthodox Faith does ask something from you. God does. This is in contrast with the comfortable Western Confessions. Orthodoxy pushes you. In this struggle, you purify and become stronger, but struggle is always ongoing. The temptations may change, but the evil one is always shifting position. Be vigilant, fast and pray. Amen.
Lord have mercy on me, for I am a dirty, stubborn, lazy, rotten, sinner. Every day I feel as if I fall from you because I sin, and that I cant do anything about it. But by your will, you will lift me back up and bring back that love that I once felt. That voice. That beaty.
I can attest: I was severely chastised for wrongdoing, I KNEW at the time it was happening that it was punishment, it was literally something I could watch happening to me and could in no way control, and it led me to Christ and orthodoxy. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner
I have a construction company. Always things have been well. I reunited with the Lord last year. Was drinking daily. And much more corrupt sins in my life. Seems I am going thru a financial hard ship now. It’s like wen I was living for the world’s pleasure things were always good. I stay praying and asking for help. Seems things are not better. Although I am receiving work opportunities now. But for 3 months I been bidding some jobs. But not getting them. I guess because of cost. Is this spiritual suffering? Becuz sometimes I say lord I have ask and believe. But no break thru. I need a blessing now. Pray for me please. I must endure til the end
Put on the armor of God and hold on tight. I'm facing spiritual attacks myself. We are close!!!! Remember John 10 27-29 If we are His, no one will snatch us out of His hand. My best wishes and prayers are with you.
Our Savior is coming and I pray we may live a life in repentance every day (please pray for me as well. As a young adult, I face many spiritual challenges). Let's pray as well that God restores the UK.
Even though I am a Born Again Christian, I Struggle with Many Things. I have some health issues, I deal with Anxiety and Depression that No Medication has helped. I lost my some of my outter Joy and i expect for it to return But I Do have Unspeakable Joy That Only The Holy Spirit Within Me Can Utter! When I think about The Lord Jesus Christ and A Ressurected Body in Eternity With GOD-My Heart LEAPS FOR JOY!!!!!!
I have so many struggles at the moment and I try so hard everyday every turn is like a rollercoaster ride my family is evil selfish who only care about themselves I was ready to end it today and I found this thank you I know this is my fault I blame nobody else but little old me I'm always alone I use to be rap artist signed to a label and everything but that world was so evil I believe God took me out of it and I'm so grateful truthfully I love the Lord I just keep praying for strength to keep going on top of that I'm trying to recover from a addiction noticing that I'm weak and I see God is showing me who I really am and I can see what's affecting me thank you father Spyridon for this message today as I draw closer to God 🙏💗💗💗
Thank you I finally got some help ☺️ God is amazing Amen Amen Amen 🙏❤️ I am so grateful recovery starts now thank you I appreciate you took time to send a message God bless you
father spyridon your books are very very good. I bought several books, almost all of them, and what can I say, I haven't had the pleasure of reading for a long time. I finished Orthodoxy and the kingdom of Satan and now I am in Holy Russia with you and I enjoy the pilgrimage.
I was once very prideful of my looks, arrogant about myself and took no humility in myself, to the detriment of myself and others. I suddenly gained a lot of weight, seemingly overnight, and "fell", but that was a sort of reset of my life. I was fully aware of my sins and I am so grateful to God for this lesson 🙏
Something I struggle with, how do I build a business to provide for my family, while not “chasing” money or without getting self willed? Sort of aimless which I wonder if its not laziness? I want to understand on a practical level, how do I not live with expectations and self will without becoming lazy and expecting Jesus to fill the gap? I really struggle with this dilemma.
It's about surrendering to God's will imho and then make your moves and if God can bless what you are doing then it's all good. So if you keep the sabbath but work your ass off the rest of the week I see it as good thing. I work as best as I can for the glory of God.
I have never heard someone talk about suffering in such a loving way. I'm a little lost when it comes to my belief system, but I find that a lot of ministers tell us to "deal with it" essentially as it pertains to suffering for Christ. This video was streams of living water for me. Thank you.
You are the only priest i am listening regularly. Although I was raised with a more christian mentality, your words really resonate every time with me. Thank you.
I encourage you to visit your local Orthodox church, the teaching here is found throughout Orthodoxy, in many cases presented much more clearly and with greater depth. God bless you
God I pray to this to you for others to see as well to find of peace in their daily lives. Forgive me Father for I have sinned greatly. I am mentally stunted which gives in to me committing more sin. Forgive me father for I seek your guidance and your will to complete through me. Allow me to be a vessel to spread your love to those among me. My friends and and my family and those who trespass against me. Amen and amen
Hello father Spyridon. Thanks for the tips, advice. Thanks for your time and effort for us on RU-vid. God restore your health. Have a beautiful day. Bye. Rudi from Slovenija - Europe.
I pray to God via Jesus that I can endure to the end and navigate the path of righteousness much better than in the past. I pray that evil is expelled from all people - and especially those with money and power - who walk with Lucifer most closely.
Dear Lord have mercy upon my soul, as I have failed to see this but thank you to bring me to hear this message,. I pray to refresh and clean my holy spirit and have mercy upon this poor soldier in Christ, for I am a sinner and has lost their way. I Love you Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior... Amen Thank You God, and thank you for bring me her, and thank you Father Spyridon.
The Lord’s word is true and Jesus is our only salvation. I d been rapped in sin for so long now, I pray that the lord delivers me from the hand of sin and death. And I pray he does the same for you.
Today Father I asked my Priest to say Holy Mass for members of my family,as I felt that there were to many issues going on that I could not handle and I felt as if it was an attack from the evil one. As the day progressed God's Peace came. And what a relief! Thank you Lord for hearing my prayers. Then tonight I saw your video I nearly never watched it but I remembered what wisdom comes from God via you. But it was The subject matter that shocked me, it was as if God was speaking to me alone . Oh Thank you dear Father for expressing so calmly God's loving words.
Lord Jesus Christ Son of GOD have mercy on me a sinner, heal me from past losses and abusers in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Spirit, I can’t understand the severe suffering for every mistake.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me, a sinner. Thank you father for your wisdom. God has blessed me with your videos on this earth. May Christ shine his bright light upon your soul, may he bless you. ☦️🖤
Fr. Please pray for me. My wife is leaving me. I am trying to endure.... Is so hard to endure with patience... It's so hard to be thankful. God help me. Help me by your prayers holy Father.
Needed this one ☝️. Been in the trenches of bad health for the last few years. Worried and stressed about it. But I’m trusting the LORD that this momentary affliction will lead to glory ✝️
The story of Job is a great example of this. Many times our blessings are about to be poured upon us when it's hardest. God simply wants us to strive & don't give up so u can receive. But many give up & lose hope. Longsuffering is one of the fruits of the holy spirit. 🙏
Please pray for me. I have been dealing with severe health problems for almost 4 years now and I feel like I am at my wits’ end. I have received little to no help from doctors and I often feel like I have no hope of getting better. Sometimes I feel like I am being tortured by my own body. I have struggled a lot with despair in recent months and have at times entertained thoughts of suicide. Please pray that my faith will endure and that I may be healed if it is God’s will.
I have been blamed for things what are not true and I struggle with injustice .I also am very anxious for this awful world of greed and cruelty injustice hate!
I am not a catholic anymore for pure doctrinal reasons but I agreed with most of this message. Except, when he spoke about the heresy of believing that Christians will be taken away from earth before the tribulation, he doesn’t seem to understand that it is the bride element (the chosen few who worshipped God in spirit and in truth) who will certainly be raptured before the onset of tribulation such as the world has never seen. This is a biblical truth, not an idealistic thought of some. So obviously we cannot all be going through that particular tribulation period now, although there’s no doubt that we all go through some form of tribulation.
Same. I agree whole heartedly! I was very surprised by Fr. Spyridon’s non belief in the Rapture. Jesus called the many but only the few are chosen. Can’t get any more plainer than that indeed.
Thank you Father Spyridion for the words bringing us closer to receiving Grace and not distancing ourselves from the purpose of our sufferings. Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner ☦️
I needed to hear this message. I've been heartbroken 💔 since my beloved mother passed away unexpectedly in 2022. I don't know what I would do without my faith in God. Because I know this is not my eternal home.
O Our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus, give us the strength to endure all afflictions and the humble willingness to repent of all our iniquities and fall down before Thy to see all our wickedness and with all humility to seek Thy forgiveness! Amen ☦️☦️☦️
I cannot endure anything without Yeshua Ha-Mashiach. He - alone - is my Salvation. Besides, he tests our faith but never fails in his trust in God's children. What he wants from us is Spiritual growth coming from his Helper given to us once. Only trust our Father in the Heavens! Soon, very soon, He's coming for us all. Praise God!
God bless you father Spyridon I love your encouraging and caring and knowledgeable wisdom and yes all is true we must endure till the very end. So be it I will till the very end through Jesus Christ our lord😇🕊✊💖💯✝️🌟
"If you are not willing to repent through freely choosing to suffer, unsought sufferings will be providentially imposed on you." St. Thalassios the Libyan Amen amen! I can attest this is absolutely true. I've lived it myself. And am still living it. Thank you Fr. Spyridon for this beautiful and crucial teaching.I love you all who are at your monastery! May God bless you and keep you safe! Glory be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit!!!
Your post impacted me. Praying now 8:46 12 1 23 for the peace that passeth all understanding and that you would know Gods true love for you and that he would use your circumstances to help others.
