The Lord commands: “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” (Matt v. 48) . Perfectness does not come on a sliver platter. This is what we should strive and struggle for to achieve.
“the Holy Fathers say that he who desires to be victorious in unseen warfare must establish the following four dispositions or inclinations in his heart: (1) never in any way rely on yourself; (2) always have in your heart complete, resolute hope in the One God; (3) work unceasingly; and (4) always be in prayer.” -Archbishop Averky (Taushev)

Joh 2:15-16
And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 16. And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
