St. John of Kronstadt

Why did God not create the world at once, but in six days? To teach us, in things, that we too must not be hasty in our works, but move forward gradually, wisely. If you pray, don't run your tongue. If you are studying the Gospel, do not rush to read, but concentrate your attention on every detail of the sacred text. If you make something material, make it in an effortless way. By creating the world in six days, the Lord gives us an example. Let's follow it.

Face with humble submission to God's will every sorrow, every toil, every injustice that others do to you. Say: "Thy will be done" (Matthew 6:10). And keep in mind that God's mercy regulates everything for your good. And that the Lord can easily turn all sorrow into joy.
