We slip and fall…

Georgiy Kikin’s “God, Help me” (2003)

All of us sin constantly.  We slip and fall.  In reality, we fall into traps set by the demons. The Holy Fathers and the saints always tell us, “It is important to get up immediately after a fall and to keep on walking toward God.” Even if we fall a hundred times a day, it does not matter; we must get up and go on walking toward God without looking back.  What has happened has happened – it is in the past.  Just keep on going, all the while asking for help from God.
