 Introduction
Prayer is communication with God, but why does prayer
become love and joy for some and for others become tired?
Why do some people ask, and they take and rejoice while
some don’t take anything despite their many prayers?!
There is a secret. The first secret to the response to prayer
is expectation. That I expect God's response and don’t say
words that make no sense, just imposition and ritual.
Three things that express a real expectation are selected,
busyness and waiting. Also, expectation doesn’t depend on
our feelings or actions, but on the Word of God, God said he
will respond.
If you want your prayers to be meaningful and effective, I
invite you to try these simple steps and when you see a
result, continue and don't stop.
The Lord Jesus gives us lasting joy and teaches us the secrets
of his love, with the intercession of our Mother Virgin Mary
and the prayers of our Blessed Father, His Holiness Pope
Tawadros II, and to our God, glory forever, Amen.

When I'm on my usual way to meeting my godfather,
thinking about the subject my father will talk to me about
today, since he told me that there's a secret to answering
prayer and I'm busy with this word, since we were kids, we
had a love of exploring new things or secrets, I got to the
place where we meet constantly. And I didn’t feel the time,
so the hours passed as if it’s moments, I arrived to then
greet him and said why, Father, there are people praying
and God responds to them and others no matter how they
pray and there is no response, and you promised that you
will tell me today the secret of response the prayer.
He said: Yes, my son, there is a secret to respond in prayer.
I said: What is it, Father?
He said: The first secret to response the prayer is
Expectation.
I said: Expect what?
He said: Expect a response. A lot of people pray, but after
they pray, you tell them, do you expect to respond? They say
no or is it possible that God respond?

5
No. So their prayers are without understanding, they pray
just to repeat words, to complement the duties and rituals.
The first thing that expresses the existence of expectation is
Selection
That is, specific requests and not gel orders, make no sense.
I said: How, Father?
For we through the
He said: For example, when “Kirillison”
Spirit eagerly expect

righteousness by
you ask for? faith.
(Gal 5:5)
I said: I say, Lord, have mercy.
He said: What mercy do you ask for or wait that God gives to
you, don’t you pray and say "May God have mercy", and God
says to you, "What mercy do you ask for my son, what do
you want to have mercy on, my beloved?" What are you
going to say to him?
I said (in shame): I don't know. Frankly, I have never thought
about this before, I said, Lord, have mercy, but I haven’t
waited for anything or expect something specific as you say.

6
He said: Any prayer, my son, you don’t specify, it means that
you don’t expect to respond and indeed it doesn’t respond.
Any prayer you say without understanding has no effect or
power, it has become just words. For that, the Lord said,
"Don’t repeat the words falsely (Mat 6:7), i.e., without
understanding without awareness, as if God Only wants
words that satisfy his greatness and power.
I said: You mean, we shall stop such prayers, Father.
He said: Of course not. But we invalidate the lack of
understanding, we stop mere recitation, and to understand
and define what we say, to trust that you speak to God your
father - "Our Father", really, not just a word. When you say,
Lord, have mercy you can imagine, even trust that you are in
front of God and he says to you, "Have mercy on you from
what, my beloved", you say "Have mercy on me from evil
thoughts, have mercy on me from laziness, have mercy on
me and be with me in the exam, O Lord, have mercy on me
and organize my time, O Lord, have mercy on Him/her and
be with him". Thus, your prayers become meaningful and
don’t speak to the air, as the Bible says, "This people honors
me with their lips, but their heart is far from me" (Mar 7:6).
I said: Oh, if the person is concentrated in every prayer, he
will find a beautiful and profound meaning of every word.
7
He said: Yes, my son, when you say "Forgive our sins" or "O
Lord, all that we have sinned to you on this day... Forgive
and forgive us."
- God tells you what sin I forgive

sinner. Fr. John K.

So, what is the use of prayer?! What is the benefit of forgive

us our debts, and forgive all our sins?!
I said: Ok, what is the solution to this problem, Father?
He said: That you remember every sin’s name, forgive me for
the evil thought while I’m in the busy street in the morning.
Forgive me, God, for the anger and the willies on “…” today.
Forgive me for my failure at Prayer and laziness.

8
Every sin you remember in its name. You repent of it and
trust with full confidence that God will forgive it all.
Otherwise, our prayers will become meaningless and
ineffective. God doesn’t respond because we don’t wait for a
response.
This is one of the most important reasons why prayer is
distress and fatigue, not joy and longing. When the person is
sure that he will take, he will be joying and running. This is
even on the financial level anything for free people run to
follow (What is free, give me more and more of it)1.
But because we are not expecting a response, prayer has
become distressed, imposition and fatigue, we are going to
give the transcendent God, the mighty, the oppressor, his
duties and rituals, or he turns against us.
I said: There are times when I pray in the morning so that
there are no problems on the day?! But I don't know what
kind of prayer is that?!
He said: We pray to take the aid of God to overcome the
problems of the world and its worries and strength against
Satan and his arrows, God is with us not against us, when

1Egyptian saying.

We forget to pray to face Satan and the narrows of the

world alone, so we are defeated and tired, because the
tiredness is from Satan not God, the fatigue because we
didn’t take the aid and we lean on our own strength, so we
became weak in front of Satan and the problems of the
world.
I said: There are times when I forget to pray?!
He said: We forget to pray because we are not sure that
prayer has meaning and strength. And the reason is that we
aren’t expecting a response because we pray without
specifying.

And I'll say very important training.
I said: What is it, Father?
He said: When we pray to eat, what do you say?
I said: Mostly, Lord, bless this food as you blessed the five
breads and the two fishes. This is the prayer that we used to
pray before eating.
He said: Do we expect that God will bless the food and be

 "Lord, fill me with the Holy Spirit"
It is a short but very deep prayer, my son. Imagine that in
times of breakfast, dinner and lunch, every day you ask and
expect fullness from the Holy Spirit like the apostles in the
attic of Zion, the Lord must respond, and as the Lord has
filled the Apostles in the past, he is pleased to fill you too,
and the Holy Spirit will bear fruit with you (love, joy,
peace.....) and teach you everything and remind you of the
words of Christ in the Gospel.
And if you want to

Ask, son, and don't just eat cheese.

14
I said: What did you mean by eating cheese, Father?
He said: Someone decided to travel from England to America
in a steamer, and the trip would take about ten days, and
because this man was very stingy, he decided to take with
him two cans of cheese and some bread, so that he wouldn’t
buy anything while he was in the ship. The days pass and the
passengers every day, eat a different meal from the day
before like seafood, and he looks from his room in a Jealousy
and eagerly until the last day he decides to sacrifice and buy
a lunch meal and he went to one of the passengers and said
"How much is the lunch today?". He said to him with
astonishment! The ticket is all-inclusive!! He said with a sigh!
Every day?! He told him every day. And this is where my
father looked at me and said, you think, what are his
feelings?
I said: He might throw himself into the sea of rage!!
He said: We will also Expression

someone who has a rich life,
but living as a poor,

15
So, they say about him, "it is not a blessing face. But a ..."
I said: A face of Poverty.
He said: Yes, my son, I ask deeply from God, as the Bible
says, "God does not give the Spirit by measure” and “If you
then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the
Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”.

The specifying in prayer expresses an expectation,

and the more you specific in the details, the closer
you are to the response.
So, don’t just say help me, God, in my study, but help me
with the “…” material, also in the specific chapter and the
particular part. Don't say bless the children, God, but bless
them in their exams, in the specific subject and time. And so
in every detail, even small ones.
I said: New and beautiful words, Father. But can't God get
bored of me?

16
He said (with a smile): Never, he will be happy and the
relationship will increase. When you meet someone, you
don't know very well, He says hello and How you doing? and
you are replying welcome, how you are doing!!, You mean
nothing, he doesn't mean anything, and none of you are
waiting for a reply.
I said (smiling): It is possible for us to say "please come and
have a seat" and we are in a place that is strange from our
homes just words in the air for courtesy.
He said: But if someone you really know closely asks you
about the details, how’s your father, what did he do with the
previous subject “…” and what about the “… “exam, and the
stronger the relationship between you the more accurate
details. No, just thanking for everything and in any
situation!! But God says to you what is this situation!! Are
you thanking or just reserved words?
I said: Really, Father, we say general words that have no
meaning and no intention, just to complete the duties
without a soul, I lost sacred times without meaning, prayer
was concerned also imposed, not love and joy, enough times
lost without meaning

17
 And supposed to be the most beautiful times, the deposit of
the kingdom and the beginning of eternity, enough not
understanding and words that are meaningless, truly the
lack of knowledge leads to destruction, from now on I will
try to mention the details, but the details of the details, and I
said with a smile (God forbid, but he doesn't get bored of
me, and from my talks.)
He said: Of course, he will not be bored, but will be happy
with you like the joy of a father with a son who has not
spoken for years. Also the details express the need,
whenever the child is young, ask his father simple things, like
the father I want the shirt, where is the shoe, I want you to
drive me to school, and The Lord Jesus said if you don’t
come back and become like children (in simplicity and faith)
you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
I said: How lucky, to find someone who cares about, help
and relieve you and not be relieved, honestly, it is the
beginning of fatigue or hell, if the relieve is in front of me
and I’m satisfied with the tiredness and surrender to it, from
now on I’ll let God in the details of my life I will be a small
child, I will throw my concern on God and rest, enough to be
tired enough hell, we lived it and we aren’t aware God loves
us and wants our comfort, we bring tired for ourselves and

18
All of this is from Not realizing ourselves and the ideas that
frightened us of God, by a focus on routine and form, but
where is the love where is fatherhood where is the joy that
the one is going to throw tiredness and rest or go throw
himself in the lap of his father and take refuge from evil and
sin I will start, Father, I will start now.
He said: Start living a happy childhood with your loving
father, who is more merciful to you than yourself, who
accepts you in your weakness, supports, cleanses you of
your sin and loves hear the details of your small life before
the big ones.
And the second thing that expresses expectation is

Busy
I said: What is the meaning of being busy, Father?
He said: When the child is waiting for He's absolutely
certain that his

return. The concern is, whatever it is Fr. John Kassian

19
The request is present in my mind constantly day and night
until God responds.
I said: What's the difference between busy and nagging?
He said: Busy is at the level of mind, and the nagging is the
practical translation of the preoccupation and we will discuss
it on the subject of conflict with God. If there is no real
preoccupation within you at the level of mind, it will be a
mere lyric that you want to speak falsely like a parrot.
Once a story told by a young man in college "We had a
difficult subject and the doctor was scary for the students
and for the first time he took the oral exam for the subject,
and his questions were very difficult, so I was very busy with
this subject and the examination and every day at night I had
hallucinations as if I am on the committee and hear the
questions as if I am in a serious exam"
I said: I'm also like that, Father. When it is a difficult issue, I
keep busy with it all night long, I always dream of the answer
and wake up to write it.
He said: This is the proof of expectation that I am
preoccupied with the subject that I pray constantly and I ask
God day and night until he responds, so it is written "

20
“I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; They shall
never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention
of the LORD, do not keep silent” (Isa 62:6). And “pray
without ceasing” (1 Thess 5:17). Also “that men always
ought to pray and not lose heart” (Luk 18: 1).
A very religious and careful person in the Old Testament,
when they liked to translate the Book of Jews to put it in an
Alexandria library, they chose him among seventy people to
do this work, and when he liked to translate (Isaiah 7:14)
baffles how to write a virgin who is pregnant, he said we can
write a girl who gets pregnant, a woman who gets pregnant,
but a virgin and a pregnant, Greece will not accept it. So God
replied that he will not see death until he saw the Virgin and
the Son of Christ the Lord born of her, so he expected this
promise to happen and he was busy with it day and night in
the temple despite his old age, despite his weakness, but he
was busy with the promise until he saw and said now you
will release your slave in peace.
When you ask God,
get busy with the request,
don't ask and forget until the response is done.

21
So, if someone asks God and after a day, you say to him
what did you ask the Lord for?! He says I don't know. What
are you waiting for Our Lord to respond to this year? He says
I don't know; I’m I remember what I ate yesterday!! Such
people don’t expect a response and will not take it. Who
doesn't care and get busy about his request, it means that
he doesn't need it strongly, if one needs something that he
will dream of day and night!
A young man who was fighting with an evil habit – and it is
natural that they fight with youth’s desires.
I said: I mean, as long as I'm young, I fall into youth desires!"
He said: Normally he fights, it's not normal that he falls.
In the war, I can be wounded, but I will not give up, if I fall
(and this is possible) I will continue the war and fight, but no
despair and also no justify. And that's what happened to the
young man. He kept struggling, falling and up, but he
struggled faithfully, day and night, short prayers that never
end (O Lord Jesus cleansed me - Lord Jesus, give me holiness
- Lord Jesus freed me...) constantly busy.
"Even in my sleep, I was woken saying, " Lord Jesus, give me
holiness," he says.

22
I said: Is he really free?"
He said: Lord is faithful. Truly, by the grace of Christ,
becomes free.
I said: How long did it take?!
He said: After months. The period depends on your
seriousness. The distance from the cathedral to the metro
may be taken by one person in a quarter of an hour, another
person in half an hour, two people walking and having fun
together with snacks, they will arrive hopefully in two or
three hours.
If you want, my son, a real response, get busy with your
request and keep it in front of you day and night. Neither
bored nor tireless, until God responds.
A mother was preoccupied with her daughter's salvation day
and night with tears and prayers, the girl is simple and kind,
but her legs slipped in the way of apostasy. The mother
didn’t give up, day and night, busy with her daughter, her
image in front of her, not to bring her grief, disease, sugar,
pressure and paralysis, but she was turning all her pain and
sadness to prayers "Lord Jesus, she is your daughter, you
must bring her back, you must intervene." And in a strange
Way there were calamities in the house of the young man

23
who was seducing her, he and his family had to expel her
"Go to your family, enough, our house is ruined."
I said: There are mothers and fathers who don’t pray for
their children if this happens to them, possibly, if they meet,
they will kill them!!
He said: Who is killing people?
I said: Satan is the killer.
He said: And who thinks about this will be the son of the
devil!! They are not afraid of the salvation of their children,
they are not even sure about their salvation, they are afraid
of shame, for how they look in front of the people. But
forgive our children like Christ, who forgives us! No. We pray
and get busy with our children day and night and expect a
response because the Lord wants everyone to be saved! No.
Just gets sick and depressed or we want to kill them so that
they go to hell and we go with them too. Where the killer
goes!! But salvation, forgiveness, power and prayer
response!! Words that are out of our minds.
Our culture not a Christian culture anymore, nor gospel
culture as well, it becomes the culture of shame, the culture
of form and how we look like in front of the people, but we

24
Pray, fight and get busy day and night, without boredom or
interruption, as the book says. No.
I said: I don't know, Father, every day I find out that I wasn’t
Christian, forgiveness, prayer, fatherhood, unconditional
love, the culture of the Gospel has become really strange to
us, Please, Father, continue with me so I can get to know the
signs of a true Christian as you told me to enter the guild.
Please be patient with me even if I slacken or fall short.
He said: Jesus is patient with all of us, and we must be
patient with each other, and I am the one who tells you,
please, continue with me the curriculum to the end, my son,
there is no meaning to life away from The Lord Jesus, and
you will know things that makes to your life a goal and a
noble meaning that deserves to live for.
I said:
*The first indicator of an expectation is to Select, i.e. specify
the request.
*The second indicator It’s busy, i.e. get the request into the
depths, and get busy with it.
And what's the third thing about an expectation, Father?

25
He said: Great, you remained good in the review and
summary, and this is something very important which is the
difference between preaching and practical education that
lasts, without clear practical steps all our words become
forgotten with time.
The third thing to have an expectation is:
Wait
This will be discussed in detail when we talk about the third
secret in the response to prayer.
I said: But, Father, this expectation is not always felt.
He said: Yes, we learned not to rely on our feelings and we
discussed it before. Those who know
the Scriptures make
I said: It is also possible that I don’t have
it easier for them to

prayer.
He said: Our dependence, my son, in our St. Isaac the Syrian
requests, will not build on feelings, it is
changing, nor on our actions ” And all our righteousness’s
are like filthy rags” (Isa 64 :6)
Nor on our personal faith, we're weak, and we don't even
have a mustard seed of faith.

26
I said (surprisingly): And what are we going to count on,
Father?
He said: On the Word of God, in upper Egypt, they say, “So
he said the word." Is it only upper Egyptians, says a word
and executes it and God doesn’t carry out his word!!
The subject of the response doesn’t depend on us at all, it
depends totally on God, he said, he is fully committed to
carrying out his Word.
It says “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without
wavering, for He who promised is faithful.” (Heb10:23).
I said: Isn’t it important that I have faith until God responds
to me.
Said:
Faith in the Word of God, not faith in your power and
personal strength.

Do you believe that God is capable of everything?

I said: Yes, I believe.
He said: Do you believe that the Bible is a word of God.
I said: Yes, I believe.

27
He said: This is the faith on which we rely that God can do
everything, and that his Word in the Bible will be fulfilled as
long as we demand it.
I said: But I’m a sinner person and I do many sins.
He said: We go back again; do you want to Faith is the wing
of prayer, and
do sin?! Do you have ever been persistent
without it, prayer
and monitored or are you rejecting every returns to the
sin, but you are weakened?! Will there bosom of man

I said: I get it, I get it, Father, sorry for the old ideas every
once in a while.
He said: In Sunday school classes, the servant like to explain
to the children what the faith is. So, he took off his watch
and it was an expensive one and said "Boys, boys, who
wants this watch? The first one will say I want it, will take it
all along." The children take a while to think, "Is he really
going to give it to them or is it just a game?" But a simple
boy said “me, sir, I want it.” And he really gave it to him.
The class irritated, is he going to take it all along, sir? He said
yes along. And everyone said, I wish It was me.

28
Said:
It's pretty simple, just. God said, And I say you said Lord
and I expect a response.
He said: This is how the saints did, and the Prophet Moses
always said, "Remember, Lord the Covenant that you said to
our fathers."
Remember (God)

" Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and
you will receive, that your joy may be full." (Joh 16:24)
"Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth

by My Father in heaven.” (Matt8:9)
“Thus, says the LORD, The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker:

shall by any means hurt you.” (Luk 10:19).
I said: Strong and deep promises, I hope we believes and
lives by it.
He said: We will discover in heaven that we had great glory
and rich, but because we didn’t believe or live with these
promises we were in poverty.
In one village in Upper Egypt, a young man in the last year
of the Faculty of Arts, who was the only child of a widowed
mother, has wine the random migration of America, and he
was confused to leave his old widowed mother and emigrate
or is he sacrificing an opportunity that many people dream
of and remain with his mother?! After a lot of thought, he
pushed by his mother to travel while she will stay in the
country and all her family will be around, so she told him to
travel and every once in a while, send me a letter, and every
couple of years come to visit me. The young man traveled
and the days passed and the widow stopped attending mass
and meetings after she was a regular. The priest went to her

30
to check on and visit her, said: "Where are you, why I don’t
see you in mass and meetings anymore?" She said: “Why
shall I go to church!! Even my only son traveled and never
ask about me anymore, that I started selling my home things
so I could spend and live. The priest said: "He didn’t send
you anything at all!!" She said: "He sends me a letter and a
picture even the picture he never changes it.", " Where is
the letter and the picture? “, and when she brought them,
he found that the picture was a $2,000 check. So, he asks
her about the other pictures.
“You are the richest one in the country.” he said, when he
found a check for $2,000 a check for $3,000.
I said: Oh, we're like this!!
He said: Yes, my son, the Lord has given us many promises,
and we live in poverty because we don’t believe his words
and promises, and we live dependent on our actions and
feelings, all of which lead to fatigue, failure and bitterness, it
is possible that the slave benefits more from the father than
the son.
I said: How, Father?
He said: There was a great prince in Europe, and he was
famous for being interested in the needy, so one of the

31
beggars every day asked for his help, once to build his house,
once to make a project, and every time he didn’t refuse his
request, This prince had a son and the prince was asking
him: Do you need something, son? The son says to him
thank you, the prince says: I want you to be happy and
cheerful, so the son says to him thank you, and one day this
beggar came and asked the prince to help him in his son's
wedding, he didn’t delay, but gave him a lot of gifts and gave
him a sheep for his feast. The son burst into tears and said,
"What is this?" you're giving to beggars and slackening on
me? This is injustice! Then he ran and left his father, and his
father went to him, so the son started crying and said, "Why
do you give the beggars and never me?" The father said, my
son, everything is yours, did you ask for anything and I didn’t
give it to you.
I said: Poor, son.
He said: We are the poor ones, God has given us promises
and we are living in poverty and he has given us to ask, and
take, to have a power, to have joy. But we don’t trust in his
promises and we live in darkness, tiredness and bitterness.
I said: Do his promises for all people, Father?!

32
He said: Sure, for all his children to all those who made him a
general power of attorney (as we mentioned in part four),
the son has all the wealth of his father, who gave his life to
the Lord, The Lord gave him his life (2 Cor 4:10). He took who
is ours and gave us which he has. So, are you his son or not?
Did you make a general power of attorney or not?
I said: I’m his son because he adopted me, and I surrendered
my life and subjected to him because he died for me, but are
all promises absolute, Father?
He said: Have you completely subjected to the Lord and
delivered your will to Him?
I said: As you taught me. In principle, yes, but I grow in that.
He said: Fine, then all the promises are completely yours,
and when God sees that a promise that doesn’t suit you
now, he will tell you, and will give you complete joy as if you
had taken the promise completely.

mass

33
He said: Is the expression "made offerings", we mentioned
before?!
I said: We didn't, Father.
He said: In every Mass we pray "Remember, O Lord, these
offerings, and for whom were made, and by whom were
made.” What do you want
today, my beloved, what Expectation
are you asking me for at
mass? “he says”. But we
stand and pray for hours, Selection busy waiting
but not targeted.
I said: what does it mean,
Father?
He said: Every mass you attend, choose a request and a
person and ask for them throughout the mass, which be
your goal for made offerings and prayers, and when you
prostrate ask for them, when you say, "Have mercy, Lord”,
or when you “Eucharist” ask for them, don’t let the holy
times go to waste and don’t be distracted, but focus on your
prayers and expect the response and demanded until you
take it.

34
I said: Great idea, Father, I often get bored of the length of
the mass, or pray, prostrate and sit aimlessly. From now on,
every mass I will take a request and a person and asks for
them, and is it possible to take more than that?
He said: Focus on your requests, so you don't forget or get
confused, and always remember that when the devil doesn't
know how to stop a car, he is trampling gasoline. So, step by
step until these things become a nature in you.
Remember that today we only talked about the first secret
in the response to prayer, which is an expectation (Selection,
busy, waiting). We said that the expectation is to wait for a
response based on the Word of God and not on my feelings
or actions. And we took a lot of practical training:
1- Eating prayer (when I eat any meal I say while eating, O
Lord, fill me with the Holy Spirit)
2- Made offerings, which is when you attend any mass you
take a person and a subject and put them before God
throughout the mass and ask for them.
I leave you in the grace of Christ and continue next week
with the grace of Christ.
