Aligning The Will

Ὁ μὴ συναλλάσσων τῷ Θεῷ τὸ ἑαυτοῦ θέλημα, ὑποσκελίζεται ἐν τοῖς ἰδίοις ἐπιτηδεύμασι, καὶ ὑποχείριος τῶν ἀντιπάλων γίνεται. Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Τῶν Οἰομένων Ἐξ Ἔργων Δικαιοῦσθαι Source: Migne PG 65.953b

He who does not harmonise his will with God is overthrown in his own exertions, and he is under the power of the enemy. Saint Mark The Ascetic, On Those Who Think Themselves Justified By Works
