How do we know we’re living according to the will of God?
The Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica tells us,
“He who lives according to God’s will has no worries.
When he needs something, he simply prays for it.
If he does not receive that which he asked for, he is joyful as though he had received it.
A soul that has given itself over to God has no fear of anything, not even robbers, sickness, or death.
Whatever happens, such a soul always cries, ‘It was the will of God’.”
Abbot Tryphon
