I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth. - Psalm 121:1-2

"The virtues which we chiefly lack..."
6. "Necessity is laid upon us to examine ourselves with diligence to find out what are the virtues which we chiefly lack, and which are the hardest for us to acquire; we should seek to learn the sins that do most easily beset us, and the the times and occasions, when we do most often fall. In the time of struggle we ought to have recourse to God with perfect confidence, abiding steadfast in the Presence of His Divine Majesty; in lowly adoration we should tell out before Him our griefs and our failures, asking Him lovingly for the succor of His grace; and in our weakness we shall find in Him our strength." - pg. 73, From 'the Practice of the Presence of God' by Brother Lawrence
