Consider thyself also: the enemy sometimes tempts your patience - TopicsExpress



          

Consider thyself also: the enemy sometimes tempts your patience too; his triumph is double if he succeeds in irritating you too: understand his wiles, and mock at them. When he exerts his violence against a person who is especially near to your heart, then your heart aches to hear his foolish words expressing the attachment of his heart to earthly things. Do not be depressed, do not despair, do not grieve, do not give way to anger, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Call upon the Saviour: Saviour, save us! Do not be false to Him in any spiritual affliction, nor in any violence of the Devil and the passions. Remember that He Himself said: Call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me. St John of Kronstadt
