“When you turn to God in prayer, be in your thoughts as an ant, as a serpent of the earth, like a worm, like a stuttering child. Do not speak to Him something philosophical or high-sounding, but approach Him with a child’s attitude.” St Isaac the Syrian #humbleyourselves #aslittlechildren #kingdomofheaven #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

We set ourselves as teachers and examples for the children, while the Lord says the opposite, setting the children as an example for us, to the extent that He warns us if we do not become like them we will not enter the kingdom! Certainly, He does not mean to be like them in mentality, but in heart and spirit. – H.H. Pope Shenouda . . #children #beconverted #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
