Striving to Overcome

Sister L. Mason writes from Pine Grove, Mich., Apr. 1858: "This is the first time I have taken my pen to write to the brethren and sisters through the Review, although I have been cheered many times while reading their letters. Some have expressed my mind better than I could have done it myself. I am trying to keep the Commandments of God and have the Faith of Jesus. I find when I live near to God, he draws near to me; and then I do not see so many thorns in my pathway. I have much to do before I can be presented faultless before the throne of God. I am striving to overcome my besetments.
"Satan is very busy trying to bring all into his snare that are at ease. It becomes us to watch and pray without ceasing. It is my daily prayer to be kept from the evil that surrounds us. Our Saviour gave us warning of these things. He has been mindful of us and warned us of the dark, deceptive works of Satan, just prior to his coming. O how ought we to love and praise him for his goodness to us."
