After my return home, I was much buffeted with temptations, but I cried out, and they
fled away. They returned again and again. I as often lifted up my eyes, and He “sent me help
from his holy place.” And herein I found the difference between this and my former state
chiefly consisted. I was striving, yea, fighting with all my might under the law, as well as
under grace. But then I was sometimes, if not often, conquered; now, I was always conqueror.
