Wisdom for the day – Elder Porphyrios

December 16, 2013

All the unpleasant things which are within your soul and cause you anxiety can become occasions for the glorification of God and cease to torment you.

Have trust in God.

Then you will forget your worries and become His instruments.

Distress shows that we are not entrusting our life to Christ.

Doesn’t St. Paul say, ‘We are afflicted on every side, but not distressed?’

Elder Porphyrios
