RE: Open Church: How do you draw near to God?

...God is love. Humility is the main virtue in Orthodox Christianity. Humility is some kind of patience. Only with patience and humility, we are building love in our families, with friends and neighbors.
...Almsgiving is another virtue. Doing alms we express our love and care to others. Helping others we do not need to wait for returns from them. Our God, Jesus Christ, healed blind, leper men, not waiting returns in the form of money or presents from them, no...
...At least, One day a week we must go to Church for Divine Liturgy and Holy Communion. Praying in Church is not the same as doing prayer at home. Praying in Church makes you feel more grace and sweetness in your heart. You can feel God closer...
...Every day we need to say Thank You to our God because we don't even know which way we live our lives is better or worse. Every day we need to do Jesus Christ prayer: "Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy on me" as well as do a prayer to our Guardian Angel - he is our internal voice, he is our conscience.

By adhering to these simple rules we can live our lives as true Orthodox Christians and be closer to God!

I agree with a lot in your post but

Guardian Angel - he is our internal voice, he is our conscience.

Who do you refer to above?

to our personal Angel whose name is given to us when baptizing - is a spirit who is believed to protect and help a particular person.
