Priest advises silence and prayer in conflict

Protoiereus Vladimir Yeremin writes that in any conflict situation one should not rush to respond. It is better to remain silent when there is no good feeling within. The enemy seeks to sow discord among people, so it is important to turn to God in that moment.

People often react negatively to remarks with phrases such as "Don't teach me," "I'll do it later," or "I know that without you." These reactions are what the enemy wants in order to provoke a quarrel. If one prays inwardly, a quarrel will not arise. The priest states that one must be silent, pray, and all evil impulses will pass. The main thing is to avoid unnecessary words. The Lord will arrange everything.
