Question: Our friend is in a descent and we do not know how to help him unite with us. How can we light a flame in his heart?

Answer: Sometimes you can help a friend, but sometimes you cannot. If a person suddenly loses the desire for spiritual elevation and does not see that this is his goal in life, then it is very difficult to raise him from this state. We need smart friends who would deal with him  correctly psychologically. And this does not always help.

But you should share your experiences on the Internet: what you tried to do in such cases and what helped you.

Question: It is said that a neighbor must help a friend. Where is the place for prayer at this point of connection?

Answer: Prayer is the inner desire of the heart. If I desire something in my heart, then I raise my desire to the Creator. This is what prayer means.

Of course, you also need to physically help your friend, especially if he falls. But at the same time, we must understand that the main help is in our prayer, in the desire of our hearts, when we raise ourselves and move toward the Creator.
