- To distrust of self, we must add confidence in God
FOUR STEPS
1.) To ask it with great humility.
2.) To contemplate with an ardent faith the immense power and infinite wisdom of the Supreme Being. All that he demands is that we turn to Him with complete confidence. When this devoted Shepherd sees His strayed sheep finally returning to Him with a sincere, though perhaps weak intention of obeying Him, He is greatly please to see him united again to the flock, and invites the Angels to rejoice with Him on the occasion.
3.) We must frequently recall what we are assured of in the Holy Scriptures, the witnesses of truth in a thousand different places, that no one who puts his trust in God will be defeated.
4.) Before attempting to perform any good action, or to encounter some failing, we should look at our own weakness on the one hand, and on the other hand contemplate the infinite power, wisdom and goodness of God.
