Prayer is beneficial for everything (Saint Porphyrios)

St. Porphyrios - Prayer is beneficial for everything
St. Porphyrios - Prayer is beneficial for everything

The person who belongs to Christ turns everything into prayer. He makes both difficulties and tribulations into prayer. Whatever happens to him, he begins, ‘Lord Jesus Christ…’. Prayer is beneficial for everything, even for the simplest of things. For example, if you are suffering from insomnia, don’t think about sleep. Get up and leave your bedroom and then come back in and lie down on your bed as if for the first time, without thinking about whether you will sleep or not. Then concentrate your mind, recite the doxology and then repeat the prayer, ‘Lord Jesus Christ…’, three times over and that way you will fall asleep. All matters are sorted out with prayer. But your prayer must be endued with love and fire. You mustn’t have anxiety, but trust in God’s love and providence. All things are embraced in spiritual life. All things are sanctified, both the good things and the difficult things, the material and the spiritual, and whatever you do, do for the glory of God.
