Device 3 - By presenting to the soul the difficulty of performing them
Says Satan, it is so hard and difficult a thing to pray as you should, and to wait on God as you should, and to walk with God as you should, and to be lively, warm, and active in the communion of saints as you should, that you were better ten thousands times to neglect them, than to meddle with them.
Doubtless by this device Satan has and does keep off thousands from waiting on God and from giving to him that service that is due to his name.
