So screwtape know that wormwood is going to be called for the military and he wants him to be focused and concentrated as God would want him to be. (i think) God will provide him with all the proper things that he needs. He says not to have the enemy take control over our mind becasuse if they do, they're pretty much taking over you mentally. Screwtape says that it can weaken him spiritually as well. Mind over matter. Another thing he says is to have the energy to look beyond himself and also not to hate. Some people judge on what they hear or read but really don't know the person or something they hear about until they actually met with that thing or person and know how it acts or feels. He says things that are often judged, such a person who is judging someone or somehthing else; well they are most likely to be full of hatred and are most likely a miserable person.
These are all my assumptions on these chapters. I'm still a bit lost on reading, but i guess i sorta get it....very slowly. :)

I think that not allowing the enemy to take over our minds is very important. We will eventually encounter different enemies throughout our life time, whether it's in a religious aspect or even a physical enemy. We must keep a strong mind in everything that we do. I thought this letter was very interesting, even though I posted my blog on letter four.
