Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

As the little vessel of thy soul is being overwhelmed with the waves of temptation, arouse Christ with thy prayers. Our visible foes we subdue by striking and slaying them; but this invisible enemy of our souls we conquer by pouring out our prayers to God. O blessed Christ, do Thou fight for us and in us, that in Thee we may have the victory! - Johann Gerhard, *Sacred Meditations* XXVII
