But will God accept my actions if my heart is not one of worship? He knows I want to be able to worship Him but that I have so much pride and blindness and animosity in the way.
Here is a good quote I found from Elder Paisios:
“The devil does not hunt after those who are lost; he hunts after those who are aware, those who are close to God. He takes from them trust in God and begins to afflict them with self-assurance, logic, thinking, criticism. Therefore we should not trust our logical minds.”
–Elder Paisios of Mt. Athos
