Wisdom From Elder Ephraim of Philotheou:
Do not be disheartened; do not lose courage. Sometimes the holy nurse — the grace of GOD — leaves us, and we fall into ridiculous and indecent thoughts, and sometimes even words, so that we might be humbled and not think highly of ourselves, but rather become aware of our weakness, that we are unable to do any good without the grace of GOD.
