i just read in midbar kedeimos from the chida who brings from the holy arizal that when a person is in trouble he should be mazkir his zechuyos, the chida adds however, that sometimes your zechuyos can be used against you [for instance if we say i have a great zechus for that time i abstained from p**n, the satan can say, yeah but look at all the other times when he did fall] you should therefore only remind your zechusim beremez. so next time i have trouble i'm gonna yell loud and clear (while switching my truck gear with one hand and reachin' for my trusty old tehillim with the other hand)
WOODFORD!!
