| All my happiness and unhappiness are contained in the thoughts and inclinations of my heart. If the thoughts and inclinations of my heart are in accord with God’s truth or with the will of my God, then I am at rest, filled with divine light, joy, and blessedness; if not, I am uneasy, filled with spiritual, soul-corrupting darkness, heaviness, and despondency.
Righteous John, Wonderworker of Kronstadt

| The point of this quote by Righteous John, the Wonderworker of Kronstadt, is that we should pay attention to our thoughts and inclinations. These have a strong influence on our lives, because the devil always attacks Christians through the mind and body. Every day, we have different kinds of thoughts, some of which come from God, and others from evil forces. I agree with Righteous John. I can feel the difference when my thoughts are "in accord with God's truth": I feel safe, calm and confident. But if my thoughts or inclinations are not in line with God's will, my heart becomes heavy and I feel constant discontent and resentment. This is why I can quote from the Proverbs of Solomon: "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7).
