“A fish that is alive swims against the flow of water. One that is dead floats down with the water. A true Christian goes against the current of sinful age. A false one is swept away by its swiftness.”

Psalms 6:1-3
O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. 2. Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed. 3. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long?

Psalms 6:4-6
Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake. 5. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks? 6. I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

Psalms 6:7-10
Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. 8. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9. The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer. 10. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly.

During prayer, be like a lisping infant, mingling your spirit in one with the spirit of the prayer you are pronouncing. Count yourself as nothing and accept the prayer as a great gift of God. Renounce your own carnal wisdom and do not listen to it, for carnal "knowledge puffeth up," it doubts, imagines, blasphemes. (St John of Kronstadt)

Psalms 7:1-2
O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: 2. Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

Enter not into judgment with me, by recording my deeds, demanding an account of my words, and examining my motives and desires. But in Thy compassion disregard my terrible past and save me, O God All-Powerful.

Psalms 7:3-5
O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 4. If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 5. Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

Ex Muslim, Islam debunking Atheist, turns to Christ and becomes an Orthodox Christian.
He still lacks a lot of education on the topic and may even be a zionist... May this trip set him on the correct way

Psalms 7:6-7
Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. 7. So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

"We gain possession of our lives by patience, since when we learn to govern ourselves, we begin to gain possession of the very thing we are. True patience consists in bearing calmly the evils done us by another, and in not being consumed by resentments against the person who inflicts them.... It is a virtue in the sight of others to bear with one's opponents, but virtue in God's sight is to love them. Solomon disclosed how high patience is on the scale of the virtues: 'He that governs his temper is better than he that takes a city [Prov. 16:32].' In taking cities we conquer places outside of ourselves; a greater victory is overcoming oneself."

My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 11. God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 12. If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
