In this sermon His Grace Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, encourages us to go to God with our worries and concerns, especially when dealing with feelings of rejection, or in tribulation.
His Grace Bishop Angaelos speaks about the struggle we all face in attempting to please one another while neglecting to be ourselves and seek favour in the eyes of God. When we only seek approval or acceptance from others it can often lead us to disappointment, uncertainty and confusion as their assessment of us can change.
