In virtue of this good point I can sing and give thanks to God. I will sing the songs and melodies that are created by collecting my good points, as explained above. It is a major foundation for all who want to draw closer to God and not lose everything, God forbid. Usually when people are far from God, the main reason is because of sorrow and depression brought on by the negative view they take of themselves when they see the damage caused by their behavior. Each person knows his own inner pain.
Some people take such a low view of themselves that they fall into complete despair.
As a result they put no effort into prayer and do not even try to practice what they are still capable of. One must fight this in every possible way. When a person takes a poor view of himself, it may well be true that this is because of bad things he really did. But the depression that comes over him as a result is nothing but the work of the devil, who tries to weaken a person's resolve until he throws him down completely. This is the way to give yourself new life and make yourself happy, knowing that God will help you.
