The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis

Screwtape is a senior devil advising his nephew Wormwood how better to seduce Christians. Screwtape says:

 

Whenever they are attending to the Enemy Himself (God), we are defeated, but there are ways of preventing them from doing this. The simplest is to turn their gaze away from Him toward themselves.  Keep them watching their own minds and trying to produce feelings there by the action of their own wills
