What should a man do in all the temptations and evil thoughts that come upon him?
St Moses was asked, ‘What should a man do in all the temptations and evil thoughts that come upon him?’ The old man said to him, ‘He should weep and implore the goodness of God to come to his aid, and he will obtain peace if he prays with discernment.
For it is written, "With the Lord on my side I do not fear. What can man do to me?"’
(Ps. i 18.6)
