Although one falls, he does not forget the love of his Father; and although he is loaded with trespasses of every kind, his zeal for the service of good is not held back, nor does he desist from his course, nor abhor to stand in struggle against these things anew and with the same chance of being vanquished, nor cease from demolishing every day his building and beginning a (new) foundation.
And the word of the Prophet is in his mouth: ‘Till the hour of my departure from this world, rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in the darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.’ And he will not cease to struggle until his death.
— Isaac of Syria

Thanks for your comment to my blog. The Papa Prayer, while the title of the book, is an acronym for His "model" (although Crabb doesn't like steps/models) for prayer. Read the book. It is wonderful!
Blessings,
Ken
