He arranges everything
13 April 2022
There are more sorrows than joys in the present life. Sometimes God sends them to bestir us from our spiritual slumber, to stop us sinning, or to be cleansed through repentance. Or he may send them so that we become more obedient to him, since he arranges everything. While praising him, we must show courage and patience. Your sorrows are due to some of these causes. So, examine yourself, stay peaceful and trust in the wise and holy will of God.
Saint Theophan the Recluse
