775 (FALL/ SADNESS/ DISAPPOINTMENT/ STRUGGLE/ FERVOUR/ ZEAL)
We have said it before: We should not look back or stare at our fall.
We should get up immediately and continue to run our good race.
In fact, let us do what people used to say: Let it backfire on him like a boomerang.
In other words, let the fall, the slip, be an awakening for us to fight with more fervour and zeal and push ourselves even higher than where we were before the fall.
And remember what we have said before: If the Devil gladly accepts us back to him (when we were doing well), would Christ not accept us?
(SADNESS/ JOY/ UNCEASING PRAYER/ JESUS PRAYER/ THANKSGIVING)
Beware of sorrow too, whether justified or unjustified. It can only do you harm. Instead, apply the apostle Paul’s:“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks…”; and he continues: “For this is the will of God in Jesus Christ for you” (i.e. this is the will of God that you should do).
