View Full Version : Ever have the answer to a prayer just slap you in the face?

I've been stressing quite a bit lately over some of the "discussions" here and it has been dragging me in one direction, then another. I just kind of, off the cuff, asked the Lord to help me figure out the right way to go but I never expected such a clear answer as I recieved.

I was muddling through my evening prayers while my mind was going over and over some of the debates in here and I struggled to keep my attention on my prayers. Imagine my complete shock when I get to the daily epistle reading (listed with a Gospel reading on a calendar we got from Church). The reading was 2Tim 2:20-26. I do my readings from the RSV and I literally stopped and caught my breath on verse 23 and looked up at the icon of Christ.

So, I guess I'll be taking a break from any religious discussions on CF. I'll be over in The Gamer's Zone if anyone wants to say hi and I'll peek in here frequently to check for conversion/chrismation/birth/death announcements but I won't be opening any threads that don't specifically say something like that.

Wishing you all the best. Christ is born! Glorify Him!

Okay, but you must keep your PM box clean.

Yes, I have had the answer to a prayer more than slap me in the face. It was actually intensely scary! I don't care to discuss it in public but would be more than willing to discuss it in pm.

Being an Orthodox Christian is being very serious, it is NOT playing at religion!
