Please pray when you fight

It is easy to pray for someone when they are sick but it’s harder to pray for someone when you disagree with them.  I have to remind myself this continually, you think after a few years this would come naturally but for me it doesn’t.

I can definitely relate to this. I've recently been hurt by some people and I would much rather write them off than pray for them. Thanks for the reminder.

Amanda,

I wanted to share with you that my husband just release a new novel called Sojourning with Angels: The Rise of Zazriel. It is based on orthodox faith and is also a beautiful sacramental love story! Since there is so little orthodox fiction around, I thought you would enjoy. Molly from Close to Home wrote the first review below:

“In Sojourning with Angels, R. Leo Olson has crafted an utterly original and soul stirring saga ofunseen warfare that will unnerve, inspire and challenge its readers to viewtheir thoughts, words and deeds in light of eternity. Olson has a knack for getting under your skin with his vivid characters and courageous observations about lust, greed, betrayal and mercy,and piercing your heart with the mysterious power of love. ”

Thanks...Emily Olson
