Duty, Discouragement, and Pride

Beware how you trifle with duty on the ground of inability: he who bids you do, promises you strength; he invites you to receive, have grace that you may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.
Be not discouraged by past failures in duty, but confess to God, beg his interference, and try again. "The way of the Lord is strength to the upright."
