The devil’s trying to discourage you? Turn the tables on him. Make it abundantly clear, both in your thoughts and actions, that as long as you live, you will never give up, you will never succumb to the pull of the underworld and that the only one who has any authority over your mind, body and soul is God himself, and no one else.
Your demon’s trying to wear you out? Wear him out with your relentless striving for virtue, love, truth and God. Show him that inside that fragile, fallible, aging physical body is an eternal, indestructible soul whose light can never be put out, dimmed, nor denied. That you have found and embraced the Divine within you, and that only a fool would take a stand against the infinite.
