Hi everybody,I am going through a difficult pried in my personal and professional life.A friend recommended me to light a candle through a internet service in the holy Church of sepulcher in Jerusalem.My question is: do you think it is some thing that can help?
Lighting a Candle is as Tuibird just a symbol, however it can be a symbol of God, after all God/Jesus is the light of the world. Even if you aren't a Christian maybe you could try thinking about your life and analysing all the bad and good that is in it and maybe think about offering yourself to God. However I will tell you this, a lot of the time being a Christian doesn't make things easier but when you are in a difficult period you can rely on God to help you through it rather than just trying to stumble your way 'through the darkness' on your own. Consider what I just said about the candle being a symbol of God, if you are walking down a dark street you can't see anything, but if you hold a candle the street is so much lighter. In the same way hard times in a persons life are the darkness, you can't see anything you can't see the end, but if you have a candle you have hope in God that he will bring you through and he can maybe help you see an end to your pain.
