Pray away your diabetes- Ask me how

[Cronos Impera]

There's an orthodox morale.
God gives you stuff but he doesn't put it in your basket. You have to fill the basket yourself.

If you just pray and do nothing than you get nothing. That is the morale of the story.
No Orthodox saint ever got beatified for faith and prayer alone. You have to work to receive your payment.

Those pseudo-Christians are like humanist atheists. They are waiting for a knight in white to free them and that is just the wrong approach. Jesus, Moses, David, Solomon and the apostles worked to get their work done. They didn't pray and hope the world changes. God worked to build this world and so must man.

Faith is fundamental to every ideology from liberalism to totalitarianism and from philosophy to religion. Anyone needs faith, without it you'll end up eating from anyone. Without faith you'll bend like a spineless schrimp and bellyfeel Ingsoc.

What we see here is a pathetic passive approach. Even Orthodox priests or patriarchs go to the doctor when they are ill because they know the priest's role and that role has nothing to do with physical healing, but spiritual healing. In the past the only ones who could heal ware prophets, Jesus or saints but not priests.
