“No one can sense his own weakness is at least a small temptation is not allowed to afflict either his body or his soul. Then, comparing his weakness to the help of God, a man comes to know its magnitude. But whoever does not know that he needs God's help, let him make many prayers. Insofar as he multiplies them, in that measure will he be humbled.”
Self‑awareness of personal frailty reveals the need for divine assistance; without recognizing this, one merely increases prayer without humility.
In simple terms: Recognizing weakness invites humility and reliance on God.
Humility stems from acknowledging limits.
