On Prayer
If
you become proud when you receive what you ask in prayer, then it is obvious
that your prayer was not to God, and you did not receive help from Him, but the
demons were working with you in order to exalt your heart; For when help is
given from God, the soul is not exalted, but is all the more humbled, and she
is amazed at the great mercy of God, how merciful He is to sinners.
St. Barsanuphius
the Great
