A Heavenly Icon on the Day of the Christian Family

Image
  It was November 21st, the Day of the Christian Family — that bright yet gentle holiday that carries a feeling of inner gathering, of invisible kinship, of a home not built from walls but from presences. The afternoon was calm, slightly tired, and I — even more tired. My eyes were burning after long hours in front of the computer; my gaze had begun to see the world as a flat screen, and my thoughts moved heavily, uncertainly, as if someone had locked them into a narrow space. And so — more out of inertia than desire — I decided to go out for a walk. I needed to unwind, to air out my mind, to let my eyes touch real light, not the bluish glow of the monitor. I wasn’t expecting much. I simply followed the familiar path through the neighborhood, the way one sometimes follows one’s own breathing — quietly, without a plan, hoping that something inside will fall into place. And then, almost imperceptibly, a feeling arose in me — the sense of something inexplicable, something approaching...

Humility is an essential virtue

 As human beings, we often have our own plans and desires that we want to achieve. We set goals, make plans, and work towards them with determination. However, as we journey through life, we quickly realize that things don't always go as we had planned or hoped. It's in these moments that we need to remind ourselves of the powerful #prayer, "Lord, Your Will be done."
The prayer of "Lord, Your #Will be done" is a powerful reminder that we are not in #control of everything that happens in our lives. We need to have the humility to recognize that our plans and desires may not always be in line with God's plan for us. It requires trust in God's plan and the #calmness to #surrender our will to His.
#Humility is an essential virtue in the #Christian #faith. It means recognizing that we are not the center of the universe and that our plans may not always be the best ones. By praying, "Lord, Your Will be done," we acknowledge that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). We submit ourselves to God's plan and seek His guidance, trusting that He knows what is best for us.
Trust is another important #virtue that we need to cultivate in our Christian walk. Trusting in God's plan can be #challenging, especially when things don't go the way we had hoped. We may be tempted to doubt God's #goodness and question His plan. However, by praying, "Lord, Your Will be done," we express our #trust in God's sovereignty and His #love for us. We believe that #God is in control, and He will work all things together for our good (Romans 8:28).
Finally, the prayer of "Lord, Your Will be done" brings #calmness to our #souls. When we surrender our plans to God, we #letgo of the need to control everything. We no longer have to worry about the future or obsess over our goals. Instead, we can rest in the #assurance that God is in control, and He will lead us where we need to go. This gives us a sense of #peace and calmness, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.
