📖 Can Your Prayers Be Heard If You Refuse to Forgive? | Faith, Forgiveness & the Orthodox Way

In this powerful Bible study rooted in Orthodox tradition, † Fr.Johnson Punchakonam unpacks the soul-stirring words of our Lord from Mark 11:24–25:

"Whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them... and whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him."

Why does Christ link Faith with Forgiveness?

Can we honestly expect our prayers to be heard while holding on to anger, bitterness, or resentment?

This teaching invites you to a deep reflection on the following:

🔹 The power of faith-filled prayer in the Orthodox tradition

🔹 Why unforgiveness blocks communion with God

🔹 How Christ's own words and example call us to radical mercy

🔹 What the Fathers teach about healing, reconciliation, and surrendering to God's will

🔹 How to apply these truths practically in your daily spiritual life

Join us as we explore how Faith and Forgiveness are not separate virtues but one sacred path to divine grace and spiritual transformation.
