“Why is it hard to obey when I know a thing to be right, when I know a thing to be true, when I know anything else is sin? Why does my flesh crave the physical pull, the natural bend, the ‘here and now’?
Mt 26:41 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Mr 14:38 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Ro 7:15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.
16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good.
17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.
19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice.
20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
7:21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.
22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man.
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
25 I thank God--through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
“Why is it hard to obey when I know a thing to be right, when I know a thing to be true, when I know anything else is sin? Why does my flesh crave the physical pull, the natural bend, the ‘here and now’? *** Forgive me for tasking my children to obey when I do not. Forgive me for expecting others to obey when I feign. Forgive me for pointing out others’ disobedience when I conceal my own.

“Why is it hard to obey when I know a thing to be right, when I know a thing to be true, when I know anything else is sin? Why does my flesh crave the physical pull, the natural bend, the ‘here and now’?*** Forgive me for tasking my children to obey when I do not. Forgive me for expecting others to obey when I feign. Forgive me for pointing out others’ disobedience when I conceal. *** Make me see my sin clear and present so that I may deal with You, on Your terms and not mine. Create in me a cleansed heart. Refresh my longing to obey. Enthuse me to submit. Transform me so that I will live by faith. Dear Sovereign who has paid my all, help me find a clear and faithful path to always want to obey more eagerly than I want to sin. I pray this in my Savior’s name, amen.”
Col 2:11-13 KJV In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
13 ¶ And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

Ps 119:25 My soul clings to the dust; Revive me according to YOUR WORD.
26 I have declared my ways, and You answered me; Teach me YOUR STATUTES.

29 Remove from me the way of lying, And grant me YOUR LAW graciously.
30 ¶ I have chosen the WAY OF TRUTH; YOUR JUDGMENTS I have laid before me.
31 I cling to YOUR TESTIMONIES; O LORD, do not put me to shame!
32 I will run the course of YOUR COMMANDMENTS, For You shall enlarge my heart.

42 So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, For I trust in YOUR WORD.
43 ¶ And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I have hoped in YOUR ORDINANCES.
44 So shall I keep YOUR LAW continually, Forever and ever.
45 ¶ And I will walk at liberty, For I seek YOUR PRECEPTS.46 I will speak of YOUR TESTIMONIES also before kings, And will not be ashamed.
47 And I will delight myself in YOUR COMMANDMENTS, Which I love.
48 My hands also I will lift up to YOUR COMMANDMENTS, Which I love, And I will meditate on YOUR STATUTES.
