What may be the
character of the temptations, we may not clearly discern until they
are upon us; for if we knew all about them in advance, they would be
but slight temptations. Watch, therefore, and pray always; for the
only safe way is to be prepared; because your adversary, the devil,
is seeking whom he may devour. He knows your weak points, and is
ready to take advantage of them. We shall each need the graces of
the Spirit our hearts, as well as the Lord’s “grace to help in time
of need,” if we would overcome.
"My soul, be on thy guard,
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing
hard
To
draw thee from the prize"
