These past couple of days, I've been feeling really anxious and low in spirits again--probably the most anxious I've felt since last March, probably. Without going too much into it, I think it's related to low self-worth.
Must. Work. Against. That.
Sigh. I don't know why I keep struggling with this issue. I just hope it is not the thorn in my side that will plague me all my life.
Roans 7:15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
ReplyDelete16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.
18 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.
19 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.
20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
22 For in my inner being I delight in God's law;
23 but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members.
24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25 Thanks be to God-- through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.
precisely. exactly.
