On Spiritual Struggle The evil spirits are always wanting to interfere With whatever we are doing for Our salvation. Alas , we who are lukewarm usually say to ourselves. Wait i have not yet done this. I have not yet tried that ... I will repent later . After i have done all these Things i will repent . God and i will walk the straight path , wandering neither to the right nor to the left . this is exactly what the spirits of evil want us to do , they want us to put off Our salvation until tomorrow. or the day after , and so on and so forth, until the end of Our life . But the holy fathers say GO With the lord , GO today follow him :):):)
