There is no person on Earth who is devoid of diseases and sorrows. The sin of the forefathers changed the high position that the Lord granted to people. And, having lost Eden, man gained... decay and death.

But God's mercy does not leave us, sinners and unworthy. Illnesses and sorrows are both hardships for us, and admonition, and reward from God. By them we, enduring them without complaint, are cleansed of sins, grow spiritually and prepare ourselves for eternity. Humility and patience, hope in the Lord and His good will – this is a truly Christian attitude. If such behavior is such, then it strengthens the sick person morally, is imputed to him as a podvig.

In this case, in the face of sorrows and ailments, a person shows the victory of the spirit over the flesh, of good over evil. Our Savior gave us an example of the greatest patience, love and meekness, enduring the sufferings of the Cross and praying for His crucifiers. Illness is a time of self-examination, a time of reflection, a time of repentance. Let us remember that everything is from God: both sickness and health. And everything that is from God is for our good. Therefore, let us not lose heart.
