"Through
the prayer of faith we can obtain from the All-merciful and
All-bestowing God all spiritual and indispensable earthly blessings
besides, if only the prayer is fervent and the desire to obtain these
blessings sincere. And what prayers the Church puts into our mouths!
Such, that by means of them we can easily incline the Lord to be
merciful to us and to bestow upon us every good gift. The enemy, knowing
God’s goodness and the power of prayer, endeavours by every means to
deter us from it, or during the prayer tries to distract our minds, to
hinder us by various passions and attachments to earthly things, or by
hurry, disturbance, etc."
(My Life in Christ, St. John of Kronstadt, page 149)
