Romans 7:15-19
“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.”
There is a lot of “do’s” and “do not’s” in there. But did you notice that Paul deals with the same cycle we all fight? What I want to do, I cant, and what I don’t want to do, I do. There is an end to this cycle but its only found in God.
Today I am going to write down the one thing I keep coming back to. I will journal about the one temptation or sin that I do not want to do but I cannot stop. Then I will pray for God to help me stop this cycle.
