โค Fasting should always be accompanied by prayer... And prayers are performed with care, especially during fasting, because then the soul is lighter, not burdened by anything, and not suppressed by the destructive burden of pleasures.

"All of us are great sinners... If you will make an opportunity out of your sinfulness, there will be no misfortune. Just do not reverse your inner decisions, and do not fall into despair. No matter what the Lord sends, whether inwardly or outwardly, all is directed toward our cleansing and salvation. He Himself is close by and helps. He is close to you, too. Resurrect such hope and prayer while enduring."

"Alone with none but thee, my God,
I journey on my way.
What need I fear when thou art near,
Oh king of night and day?
More safe am I within thy hand
Than if a host did round me stand."

"As circumstances have settled, this is how life should be, because the circumstances around us are arranged not just by chance, as many modern new-fangled clever people think, but everything is done to us by the Providence of God, who constantly cares about our spiritual salvation."

โOur Orthodox faith comes down to us through tradition. This means it isn't something we just read about or rediscover through books -- it is something passed on from father to son, from one generation to the next, which we see being practiced around us by our fathers and brothers in the faith. If we are in living contact with these people who are passing down the tradition, "correctness" will not be such a temptation for us; we will be "hooked up" with the tradition. This doesn't mean we must believe every opinion we hear from seemingly pious people -- we have the writings of the Holy Fathers and the whole tradition of the Church to guide us if there are doubts or perplexities.โ

"As to the delay of the Incarnation, it was necessary that human degeneracy should have reached the lowest point, before the work of salvation could enter in. That, however, grace through faith has not come to all must be laid to the account of human freedom; if God were to break down our opposition by violent means, the praise-worthiness of human conduct would be destroyed."
+ St Gregory of Nyssa

"If you examine your life well, you will find many instances when God showed His unmistakable mercy to you. Trouble was brewing, but it passed you by for some reason. God delivered you. Acknowledge these and thank God, Who loves you."
