My dear Wormwood,
I was considering our conversation the other day regarding your patient name. It seems that the most obvious distraction would be entertainment. When he is given a task he procrastinates until the day before or would rather not do it at all. His mentors worn him to focus on what is truly important, but he wants reward without the work. You can relate this attribute to his commitment to God. When he thinks of praying make him think that he has all the time in the world to do it and that he can figure things out without God’s help. When his parents continually ask him to do something, make this a large annoyance to him. Make him angry with the fact that they are in charge of him and that they will discipline him. Use his anger when his parents take away his pathetic earthly pleasures that only distract him from things that hold real value.

Secondly, use his image of himself against him. Your patient does not see himself the way the enemy does, as his child. He does not have much confidence in himself or his abilities.
He feels as if he has already failed and cannot live up to what the enemy has asked of him. He has seen countless others achieve the enemy’s pitiful work of inspiring others to follow but does not feel that he can make an impact. This is good. Keep his mindset on, “I don’t have the skills to be of any aid, so why even try?”. If you can maintain this, then he is going against himself without you having to do much. Do not let this opportunity slip through your
