You must never be afraid,
if you are troubled by a flood of thoughts, that the enemy is too strong
against you, that his attacks are never ending, that the war will last for your
lifetime, and that you cannot avoid incessant downfalls of all kinds. Know that
our enemies, with all their wiles, are in the hands of our divine Commander,
our Lord Jesus Christ, for Whose honour and glory you are waging war. Since He
himself leads you into battle, He will certainly not suffer your enemies to use
violence against you and overcome you, if you do not yourself cross over to
their side with your will. He will Himself fight for you and will deliver your
enemies into your hands, when He wills and as He wills, as it is written: ‘The
Lord thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up
thine enemies before thee’ (Deut. xxii, 14).
