The Enemy is overcome by the blessed Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ.

For we are so preciously loved by God that we cannot even comprehend it.

A great thing shall I make hereof in Heaven of endless worship and everlasting joys.

Pray inwardly, even if you do not enjoy it. It does good, though you feel nothing. Yes, even though you think you are doing nothing.

Prayer is a new, gracious, lasting will of the soul united and fast-bound to the will of God by the precious and mysterious working of the Holy Ghost.

This is our Lord’s will, that our prayer and our trust be both alike large. For if we trust not as much as we pray, we do not full worship to our Lord in our prayer, and also we tarry and pain our self. The cause is, as I believe, that we know not truly that our Lord is Ground on whom our prayer springeth; and also that we know not that it is given us by the grace of His love. For if we knew this, it would make us to trust to have, of our Lord’s gift, all that we desire. For I am sure that no man asketh mercy and grace with true meaning, but if mercy and grace be first given to him.

He did not say: You will not be assailed, you will not be belabored, you will not be disquieted, but he did said: You will not be overcome.
