What to do if you do not want to go to church

More than once it happened that you go to services and confessions, walk, but no joy. Little by little laziness and despondency undermine faith and churchwork It turns into a boring life. And now you no longer visit the temple, and it can be extremely difficult to find strength and return.



Editorial "Site"Armed with their observations, faith and wisdom of the elders, they will help you to find the missing drop of strength and again plunge into the spiritual. And at the end of the day, you've got a really interesting live video from Archpriest Peter Guryanov.

Sometimes it seems that you will not experience any spiritual discoveries. But it is important in no case to indulge in despondency! It is important to go to church not as a work for yourself, but with an open heart and always try to live every service and liturgy. And when you check the box, it just nullifies the whole point.



Any despondency is laziness, limitation and self-obsession. Physical labor often helps people. He gives an opportunity to take a little distraction from his thoughts, and then return to them with fresh spiritual powers. I will add that sports and art help many people to express and somehow free themselves from the emotional burden, to rethink and find a way out.



Of course, much depends on the spiritual father. A good priest will always know your life. He will always be able to help with advice, encourage and, perhaps, chide somewhere. But if you are so unlucky, you can be active yourself.

You can start with better-grounded - Gospels. Open it immediately if something breaks inside. Next, more, go to the community, ask. People around you need to be involved, too. Helping others is very easy to get out of the stupor. Do not be afraid to take the initiative, you will be rewarded for good deeds.



Despondency is a sin, but still After each fall, you need to get up and move on.. I repeat: the main thing is an open heart. And, of course, do not close yourself. Share the burden with a close or spiritual father. Today they will help you, and tomorrow they will give you what you deserve.
