384. В делах не унывай, а на Бога уповай. Если не имеешь скорбей, то укоряй себя за это и смиряйся пред Богом. Всем нам надо помышлять о смертном часе и готовиться к нему

M. St. O. n. G.I.H.B.n. p.n. Most honest in the Lord, M. Eliconidas! I wish you God's mercy and spiritual salvation. May the Lord help you in your labors and give you hope and faith in your heart. There is no need to indulge in hopeless sadness from hearing abuse, but trust in God. He is our Protector always, and we will not be ashamed. Pray, submit to His will and take care to keep His commandments. And do not be discouraged in business, but trust in God. God willing, you will do everything and rejoice in the fruits of your labors. If you write that you have no sorrows, then reproach yourself for this and humble yourself before God. I read the story about Evdokia with emotion. May the Lord deal with her according to His mercy and lead us to a good end. Is she alive? Yes! Everyone certainly needs to think about the hour of death and prepare for it. Asking for peace and God's blessing on you, I remain with the desire for salvation. You might be interested in:
