The LORD is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord rescues them from them all.

02 / Orthodox Creed
The Orthodox Creed of Faith
Creed in English
I believe in one God, The Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth and of all things visible and invisible. And in One Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of light; true God of true God; begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from Heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried. And the third day He arose again, according to the Scriptures, and ascended into Heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; Whose Kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets. In one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Creed in Arabicقانون الإيمان
(قانون الايمان) نؤْمِنُ بإلَهٍ واحِدٍ، آبٍ ضابِطِ الكُلِّ، خالِقِ السَّماءِ والأَرضِ، كُلِّ ما يُرى وما لا يُرى وبِرَبٍّ واحِدٍ يسُوعَ المسيحِ، ابنِ اللهِ الوَحيدِ، المولودِ منَ الآبِ قبلَ كُلِّ الدُّهورِ، نورٍ مِن نورٍ، إلهٍ حقٍّ منْ إِلهٍ حقٍّ، مولودٍ غيرِ مَخْلوقٍ، مُساوٍ للآبِ في الجوهَرِ، الذي بِهِ كانَ كُلُّ شيءٍ. الذي مِنْ أَجلِنا نَحنُ البَشَرُ، ومِنْ أجْلِ خلاصِنا نَزَلَ مِنَ السَماءِ وتَجَسَّدَ مِنَ الرّوحِ القُدُسِ، ومِنَ مَريَمَ العَذراءِ وتأَنَّسَ، وصُلِبَ عنّا على عَهْدِ بيلاطُسَ البُنْطيّ، وتَألَّمَ وقُبِرَ، وقامَ في اليومِ الثالثِ على ما في الكُتُبِ. وصعِدَ إلى السماءِ وجلسَ عن يمينِ الآب. وأيضاً يَأتي بِمَجْدٍ ليَدينَ الأحياءَ والأمواتَ، الذي لا فَناءَ لمُلْكِهِ. وبالرّوحِ القُدُسِ الربِّ المُحيي، المُنْبَثِقِ مِنَ الآبِ، الذي هو معَ الآبِ والابنِ، مَسجودٌ له ومُمَجَّد، الناطقِ بالأنبياءِ. وبكنيسةٍ واحدةٍ جامعةٍ مقدَّسَةٍ رسوليةٍ. وأعتَرفُ بِمَعموديةٍ واحدةٍ لمغْفِرَةِ الخطايا. وأَتَرَجّى قيامَةَ الموتى، والحياةَ في الدهرِ الآتي، آمين
03 / Comfort
Verses from the Bible for those Needing Comfort
The Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you. Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
04 / A beautiful poem
Beautiful Poem / Prayer
All for Jesus by Mary Dagworthy James (1810-1883)
All for Jesus! All for Jesus!
A prayer of devotion and trust.
All for Jesus! All for Jesus! All my being’s ransomed pow’rs, all my thoughts and words and doings, all my days and all my hours. Let my hands perform his bidding, let my feet run in his ways; let my eyes see Jesus only, let my lips speak forth his praise. Worldlings prize their gems of beauty, cling to gilded toys of dust, boast of wealth and fame and pleasure; only Jesus will I trust. Since my eyes were fixed on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside; so enchained my spirit’s vision, looking at the Crucified. O what wonder! How amazing! Jesus, glorious King of kings, deigns to call me his beloved, lets me rest beneath his wings.
