Egotistical Effort

”Do you ask for help from Jesus Christ or are you struggling alone? Have you told Christ of your weakness? You don't humble yourself, you don't ask Christ for help and then you say, 'I have difficulties in my struggle.' When one is humble and asks for help from Christ, He helps. Often man makes an egotistical effort and this is why he gets no help.”
Saint Paisios the Athonite
