We can relate to the words of Paul. “No matter which way I turn I can’t make myself do right. I want to but I can’t. When I want to do good, I don’t; and when I try not to do wrong, I do it anyway . . . . Oh, what a terrible predicament I’m in! Who will free me from my slavery to this deadly lower nature?” (Rom. 7:18–19, 24 TLB).
