A christian life on earth - is a path to unity with Christ, to theosis and to rebirth for eternal life in Heaven. On this journey, it is difficult to be without a companion to rescue in the moments of hardship, when the world hears not our cries for help. And so, as if a sip of elixir of life, a rejuvenating nectar, a Prayer comes to our rescue... Prayer is what connects us continuously to God and His saints, it is a conversation, in which we speak with Him about our needs, thank Him for rescuing us and praise the wisdom and might of the Creator.
As a ship without an experienced captain is prone to multitude of dangers, a person, deciding to cross the sea of life on h/er/is own without help, risks to drown in the depth of passions, which as if a storm, are trying to capsize and kick it off its course. But if he takes on a trustworthy guide, who has crossed the sea before, and takes his advice, then for certain, he will reach the other side, safe and sound.
Let the wise guidance gathered here become such a companion to the God loving reader on h/er/is path to spiritual growth.
