You may be facing tough decision about your life, about your future. You may feel that all sides are closing in on you. Rest assured. All isn’t lost. All hope isn’t gone. Pray and fast and wait on God. The promise wasn’t just for Esther and Mordecai. It’s for us too and to our children, and our children’s children. “Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” Don’t run before Him or take things into your own hands. Let God handle it for you. You only need to pray and fast and wait.

This is a cry from the heart, as you call it. It's the loudest tick-tock in my life... I pity my Vova and Lena; what about their Egor? He loves his parents so much: I can hardly express it in words. But, unfortunately, he doesn't know how they can love each other. For they did love! Who knows it better than I?

As Christians, we too have a responsibility to shine. In this age, when gross darkness covers the Earth, we are to arise and shine our light, lifting up Jesus Christ for all to see. We are to reflect the Source of our light in our words and deeds so that others will praise God. Just as the sun gives light to the circulating Earth, similarly, we are to let our light shine wherever darkness exists.
